A few notes from our amazing specialists-
Hello amazing Vestal Community
It makes me very happy to announce that every class in the school has earned their golden ticket for the end of the year specialists party. The students have been working hard and have all accomplished this amazing goal. In addition, please keep in mind that Vestal field day is next Friday, June 9th, in the afternoon. Please send your student with a change of clothes as we will be getting wet at the end of each session. Again, thank you so much for allowing me to work with your amazing students!
Until next year, have a great summer everyone!!

Hi Everyone! Students' last day to check out was last week. I am in the process of trying to get all the library books back before summer. Thanks for your help in looking around at home for them and getting them back to Vestal. It is so appreciated!
Speaking of summer, students will get their summer reading game boards by next week. Summer Reading is a fun reading program that is put on by the public library from June 16 thru August 31.
Here are some details:
Please let me know if you have any questions!

NOTES from our amazing PTA-
Hi Parents!
We wanted to send a reminder to have your kids bring in their completed punchcard if they walked, biked, or scootered to school 5 times in May, or took a walk or bike/scooter ride 5 times at home. If you lost the punchcard that was sent home in April, they can also bring in a note signed by their parent. All students who turn in a card by Tuesday, June 6th, will get a prize!
Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather!

Portland Public Schools celebrated Earth Day 2023 with some climate-friendly additions to its transportation fleet: three electric-powered buses from GreenPower Motor Company.
When Mike Nolan of Ida B. Wells High School was named Athletic Director of the Year by the Oregon Athletic Directors Association (OADA), no one was more excited than his co-workers.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured and the suspect is now in custody, but if you have any information about the incident please call 503-823-3333 or utilize the SafeOregon tipline.
