FRMS and former VES student Shelby McCormick has organized a rummage sale to help raise funds to buy books for the 2014-2015  Oregon Battle of the Books for Veneta Elementary School. There are sixteen book titles for OBOB and we would like to purchase 10 copies of each title if possible. Shelby has organized this rummage sale as her FRMS Leadership Class Project to help make this happen. The sale will be at the Fern Ridge Christian Church located at 24918 Warthen Road in Elmira. It will be open this Friday, May 9th  from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday May 9th from 8:00 AM to 6 :00 PM. Stop by, find a bargain, help make Shelby’s project a success, and support our school.

Come see the stars and the moon and everything else in the universe with us! Veneta Elementary is hosting a star gazing event on the VES field from 8:00 to 10:00 Friday night. We will have local astronomers there to provide their expertise as well as telescopes that students can use to view the night sky in detail. This is a unique event made possible by Mrs. Pebworth’s student teacher Alichelen Kjosness so we hope you will join us.

Veneta Elementary is lucky enough to have wonderful teachers who work hard to provide their students with the best learning environment possible. Our teachers go above and beyond every single day. They are simply amazing and we are grateful for everything they do. If you get the chance this week, be sure to thank your child’s teacher and let them know how much you appreciate how hard they work all year long to help your child be successful. A word of thanks or even a note of thanks lets our teachers know that you know that they make a difference and that the work they do matters.
