Good morning, VAC parents! The VAC Art Show is this Thursday and Friday and we could still use some folks to man the concession stand! Take a look and see where you might be able to help out! ?
Thank you so much!

Let¡¯s face it: you?could?donate money to the Visual Arts Center quietly¡
Or?you could do it while wearing a tote bag that screams?¡°I support local art and have impeccable taste.¡±
Every purchase from our merch shop helps keep the VAC alive ¡ª funding classes, supplies and weird but beautiful things made with hot glue and too much glitter (ok, maybe not the last one).
So go ahead.
Wrap yourself in creativity.
Cover your body in purpose.
Buy VAC merch. Save the arts. Look amazing doing it.

Would you like to be the next VAC Liaison(s)?
Hello, VAC parents, especially parents of 9th and 10th graders! Lauren Pacuit and I (Erica Spotts) are the current VAC Liaisons and are planning on doing it through next year when our kids are seniors.?
?
But we¡¯d love to start passing on our knowledge to the next parent(s) who will take our place. It¡¯s a great way to get involved with AEHS and VAC and it¡¯s a pretty minimal lift.?
?
Here¡¯s what we do:?
?
-A social/fundraiser for parents in the fall and spring
-Organize the concessions for the annual VAC art show
-Serve as a liaison to PACE (Patrons of the Arts Community at Einstein)
-Other small things that help out VAC teachers?
