We are in immediate need of bus drivers (both full-time and as substitutes). If you would like to learn more about the process of becoming a bus driver, please contact Jon Kelley at jkelley@vbschools.net or apply at https://bit.ly/VBemployment #BeABlackKnight

VBHS students are seeking a sponsor to support our upcoming Community Service Day. Our students have designed an "eye-catching" shirt to be worn by all staff and students while we complete our acts of service throughout the community. If you are interested in supporting this cause by covering the cost of the shirts, please reach out to Ms. Bement (lbement@vbschools.net).

Our seniors enjoyed interviewing the 1st graders this morning as they prepare to write a story about them. We are excited to see how this project turns out! #BeABlackKnight
