VMS’ Winter Formal is quickly approaching. This event will be held on December 15th, from 6-8 PM in the middle school’s gym. The coronation will be from 6-6:20ish and will give families time to take photos before your departure. At 6:25 we will be asking parents to step out for the next 1 hour and a half to allow the student to have a great time dancing their night away. At 6:30, I would like to invite families to the school’s cafeteria for some review and introduce some new programs the middle school is initiating. Of course there will be punch and cookies to bribe you with. Please look out for the coming post on the dance specifics.
