If you attended the Spring Fair on May 3rd, you know what an amazing event it was! We had a huge turnout and there were tons of games and events for all ages. Co-chairs Jennifer and Brendan Arnott once again outdid themselves and threw a super organized and super fun Fiesta!. The PTO cannot thank them enough for their hard work on the Spring Fair for the past two years. It was another great job!
Dear VFES Family and Friends,
We would like to thank all of those in the VFES community who helped to make our 2013 Spring Fair Fiesta such a successful evening. First, a very big \”THANK YOU\” to all of the parents, teachers, CHS and VFMS students, our local Boy Scouts and everyone else who volunteered at the Spring Fair. The success of VFES\’ Spring Fair strongly depends on volunteer turn out. Spring Fair would not be possible without volunteers to sell tickets, run games, paint faces, glitter tattoos, serve dinner, and participate in so many other Spring Fair activities. Their time and enthusiasm are invaluable.
The Spring Fair Committee is very grateful to the VFES PTO for their input as we planned the VFES Fiesta. PTO President Raquel Hunterworked right alongside us throughout the planning process, and PTO Treasurer Natalie Sudall and Assistant Treasurer, Sharon Forge, worked hard behind the scenes. The Spring Fair Committee also wishes to thank Mrs. Wills and all of the office staff for their support and assistance, as well as VFES teachers, many of whom generously gave of their time for both Teacher Time raffles and volunteering at the Spring Fair.
Thanks to T/E\’s Custodial staff, from VFES\’s own wonderful custodians to the district level. The Custodial Staff makes sure that we are prepared to put on a great Fair, whether it is going to be inside or out. Special thanks to Mrs. McQuate, Mrs. Braun and their 4th grade art students, who really showed us their talents in the painting of the 4th grade sponge toss. Thanks also to Janet Shaw, Susan Guy\’s mom, for putting together our ever popular Grab Bags and toJose Ibarra for sharing his many talents by making this year\’s potty toss and to Jose and our local Boy Scouts for organizing and manning Bottle Rockets at the Fair!
A big round of applause goes to our Spring Fair Committee who devoted their time and creativity to planning the Spring Fair. Sharing ideas and working together they rolled out a Spring Fair that was fun and had something for everyone. A huge thank you goes to….
