Greetings Village School Community!Â
We hope you’re enjoying these first beautiful weeks of good weather. We certainly are! Class walks, stories read aloud in the shade of a tree, sunbathing on breaks in the courtyard, daisy chains, and lots of beautiful flowers abounding…we love spring!Â
We also LOVE all the appreciations that we’ve been seeing all around campus! Sweet notes and drawings, snacks galore, and bright banners have been making the week so sweet! It’s really great to be a part of such a vibrant community. Thank you for taking such care this week!
Don’t forget, this Friday is a professional development day for teachers, so no school!Â
Thank you again for all the appreciations,
Roz, Shannon, and Andy

Our Handwork teachers are looking for some parent volunteers to read stories to the kids while they sew and knit their creations. Please email Chrissy at chrissy@eugenevillageschool.org if interested.
Brett is looking for a couple of adults to help with digging holes to install a couple of pet waste stations.
Ms Frédérique is looking for one or two volunteers to help hem a set of small tablecloths for the art room. Please email frederique@eugenevillageschool.org if interested.
Thank You Volunteers!
Thank you to the best volunteers there ever were! As we come to the close of another busy school year, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for all that you do to help our school and our students flourish. It's a joy to see your faces at school every day and at every event (I know we have many!), and to feel viscerally just how much you care. Your involvement and passion is truly what makes the Village School the beautiful community it is. We can never say it enough - Thank you for all that you do!!
May Day
What a beautiful May Day celebration we had! Thank you so much to everyone who helped to make this a festival to remember.
Commemorative Tiles for Our Courtyard Mural!
Check out our commemorative tiles to help fundraise for our courtyard mural. The tiles offer a great opportunity to share a legacy with our school. The tiles come in two sizes and businesses can upload their logos. They will be situated under the roof by the entrance to the Commons, right next to the location of the mural.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
