ANNOUNCEMENTS:
DODGE, DUCK, DIP, DIVE...….and DODGE!
It's Dodgeball Time! We are excited to let you know we are brining Dodgeball back for FRIDAY, MAY 28. We would love to have a great turnout. This is for a wonderful cause, as all money goes to the Jennifer Masters Scholarship.
Please consider putting a team together, but act quick! The deadline to sign up is Tuesday, May 18. The form is available here, and has all of the information needed. If you have any questions, please see Mr. Heitkamp. He will have forms available as well.

All library books are due May 14th. Nothing can be checked out after this date. The cost of any books not returned by the end of the year will be added to your fee account. If you have any questions, please contact Miss Burden.

A reminder on the VBMS cell phone policy: "Students may possess a cell phone or any other non-school issued communicative devices during the school day. The device should remain out of sight and as part of educating students on appropriate use, should be turned to silent or powered-off unless given teacher permission to use for an instructional purpose during the school day."
In summary: Without staff permission, your phone is off and out of sight. This includes hallways and lunch.
***
The 16th annual VBMS talent show will take place Wednesday, June 2 at 12:00pm in the auditorium. Unfortunately, no guests are allowed to attend, but we plan to either have a video or livestream option. If you are interested in performing, please complete a form (across from Mrs. Keeran's office) and return to Mr. Clark by 5/26/21. This show is only as good as the performers!!!

LUNCH TODAY:
Chicken Nuggets w/BBQ Sauce, Green Beans, Asst. Fruit, Milk
All students are eligible to receive free school lunches (a regular lunch) as a result of the federal school lunch program waiver made possible through the CARES act. Additionally, any students purchasing a regular school lunch since the start of the school year will have that lunch cost refunded to their lunch account in the coming weeks.
