Vann students have been participating in our Read-A-Thon this week! We have just a few days left! Help us finish strong by logging your reader’s minutes at home.
If you have not registered for the Vann Read-A-Thon, please visit www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/cNDQZH/1 to get signed up today! We are so close to raising $5,000 to support reading and STEAM education at Vann.
Don’t forget to post a photo of your Vann reader in the comments. We love seeing our students reading at home!

The order deadline for spring pictures from Strain Photography has been extended to Friday, March 15, at 9:00 a.m. If you've not yet turned in your order, please send it to school this week! Remember the $5 you've already paid is credited to your order!

Fourth graders enjoyed reading words of encouragement from their families or teachers before taking on the ATLAS Writing test this morning!



Vann families, we can't wait to visit with you about your student's progress at our spring parent-teacher conferences on March 26 and 27. To get the appointment slot you want, sign up early at https://ptcfast.com/schools/Vann. See you soon!

We have one week left in our Vann Read-A-Thon! If you have not signed up your reader, there is still time! Please visit: www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/cNDQZH/1 to register and start logging those minutes read at home. Vann students have read almost 32,000 minutes so far! Let's see if we can make it to 50,000 by the end of the week.
Don't forget to keep sharing your reader's page through texts and social media. Your donations help support reading and STEAM in the Vann library and makerspace!
