Help is needed for VAC art show
Hi all, The VAC art show is rapidly approaching! To make it a success, we need all hands on deck! We are charged with donations of concession items and running the concession stands on May 17 and 18th. May 17th is senior night so it would be wonderful to have all of the underclassmen families run the concession stands so the senior families can enjoy their special night. This fundraising will all go back to the VAC!
?This year, we decided to try something new. We are collecting money to purchase bouquets that you may give to your student! We also need other food and drink items. It would be wonderful if food items were pre-wrapped. The sign up genius has lots of details on it about drop off etc. You may drop items on the day of the event as well!?
Please let us know if you have any questions! A special thanks to Lauren, Jason, Geri and Karen for helping me pull this off!

Best,?

And since the gifts should be something I can pick up in the day or two before the show, please get any contributions to me no later than May 15th. Please contribute whatever you feel you can. The size of the gift cards will be whatever is not
spent on bouquets.
Best,
Geri

Hi all,
Reaching out again to see if you'd be interested in contributing to year-end gifts for Ms. Harris and Ms. Harnish. I've heard from several of you already, so thanks for the interest!
I am planning to purchase a bouquet of flowers and a gift card for each of them. Anything you can contribute would go towards that and be greatly appreciated.
We have Zelle or Venmo:
Zelle: 312-371-9541 (should be under Gerardine Brennan or John Malone)
If you don't use either of these and want to contribute, please let me know.

Hi VAC parents. I don't know if in the past parents have gotten end of year gifts for the VAC teachers. It's been a strange few years with COVID. Our seniors had their first VAC art show last year, and our daughter, sadly, had to miss it because
she was home sick with COVID, believe it or not!
My husband and I went to the show both days, but spent a lot of time at the concessions table, so missed a lot of the formalities. With that, I don't have good historical knowledge of any traditions in this regard. But... I do wonder if parents, or perhaps
parents of seniors, would be interested in getting gifts of appreciation for Ms. Harris and Ms. Harnish to give to them at the art show. I was thinking perhaps something self care related.
If you're interested in contributing to these gifts and/or have ideas for what the gifts could be please reach out to me separately --

Hi Families,
Congratulations to our National Art Honor Society students for their work with the Youth Art for Healing organization! Our amazing students create artwork to be hung in local hospitals to help give hope in dark times. Many pieces are also given
to health workers for gratitude. Tonight was amazing because our own Mrs. Harnish was honored for her work with Youth Art for Healing since it’s inception 12 years ago! Two of our students were honored with scholarships: Isabel Acuna and Erin Malone! Congratulations
to everyone involved in this amazing program! Check out their site here?
Here are some photos I took! Feel free to share yours!

Need a VAC/PACE liaison to shadow
Hi all,
Due to Karen Denny and I have rising seniors, we’re thinking it might be nice to have a parent or two shadow us for next year. We will continue in our role as VAC liaison to PACE, however it would be nice to have some new parents shadow us to help continue the VAC traditions. The liaison commitment is not much work- however it’s been amazing that we have become a part of PACE and are getting help with funding! (Not sure if you’re aware but Ian Butteriss, PACE president, has worked diligently to include us! This was not the case in the past!) Let’s keep this going!
The liaison commitment looks like:
Attending monthly pace meetings
Staying in contact with Harnish/Harris for needs or upcoming events
Helping solicit needs (Amazon wishlists)
Hosting a fundraiser if needed
Helping organize concessions for the art show in May
If you’re interested, please let me know! If you have questions send them my way!
Best,
Lainey Sidlowski
