Thank you for ensuring the safety of our children by using the drop off circle . Stop on the sidewalk side of the circle and pass to the right only. If you are helping your child out of the car, coming into the school or staying on the playground , please use the visitor parking ( cars cannot be left in the circle, it is for quick drop off only). Please note that the speed limit is 35 km/h in the school zones around SJDA and VMES. Thank you for keeping our children safe.

The annual Book Fair will be taking place the week of Nov. 18. Thanks to our librarian, Pat Gowan, for organizing this important event .

Breakfast Snacks
Thanks to all those who help make the Healthy Snacks Program at VMES successful. Special thanks to Kai Kaneko and Rosie Ruckstuhl who donated money collected during their birthday celebration to the breakfast program, organizers of the community Thanksgiving dinner and the Rotary Club for their contribution.
