The VBEA will be hosting a Chili Cook-Off on Friday, December 17 from 4:00-6:00 PM in the High School Cafeteria. All proceeds from this event will be used to fund a scholarship for a VB senior who plans to pursue the field of education.
As many of you may have heard, a large amount of Toys for Tots donations were stolen from a storage unit recently, leaving the drive short on donations for this year. To help replenish the donations for local children, the Hancock County Sheriff's Office is helping to collect toys.
Our goal at Van Buren is to fill Deputy Crouch's office with toys! If you would like to participate, please send a new, unwrapped toy with your child to school by Friday, Dec. 10. We will have drop off locations for both the middle/high school and elementary school each morning. #BeABlackKnight
It's not too late to donate a coat for Coats for Christmas! Help us fill our donation boxes in the elementary school and high school by the end of this week!
