Bringing the VMPS Community Together

Throughout the school year we hold special events for the families and children enrolled at VMPS, including our Fall and Spring Book Fairs, Halloween Costume Parade, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Mother's and Father's Day, among others.

We will communicate timing and location of these events through our classroom communication tools and our social media pages.  We invite you to return to this page to check that event schedule or visit our school calendar.
