Volunteer Tea - May 24
Captain Michael VandenBos P.S. is grateful to all of our volunteers who help make our school such a special place. On Thursday May 24th, all of our wonderful volunteers are invited to a special event to show our gratitude for the difference you bring to the lives of our students. The volunteer tea will take place in the gymnasium from 1:00-2:30 pm. Response sheets have been sent home with students and these can be returned to homeroom teachers as soon as possible so that we know the number of attendees. CMV thanks all of our super volunteers for all that you do!
CMV Has Got Talent!
