SCHOOL ZONE 6-5-14



CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES
I know the entire community joins me in congratulating our Senior class members who will be participating in their commencement exercises at VHS on Sunday, June 8 at 1:00 P.M.  Participating in the graduation of our Senior class always renews my confidence in the talent, skills, confidence and manners of the young people who will soon be poised to be the next leaders of our citizen states and country.  We have some very fine students this year and we wish them all the best as they move on to higher education and careers. 

SUMMER PROJECTS
A number of projects are happening in and around our schools this summer.  Construction on the new elementary school will be ongoing through the summer and fall months.  Our crews will be very busy getting the buildings ready for occupancy in August.  Renovations to the high school and middle school will begin next week and continue throughout the summer.   In addition to the building work, the City of Vermilion will be completing road construction projects in and near the area of our schools.  We ask that residents travel cautiously in these areas.  Throughout the summer the athletic fields will be used by various groups for summer baseball, softball and soccer programs.  We ask that participants park only in the designated parking areas, and not on the grass.  Cars parked on the grass can create ruts and uneven areas that are dangerous for children who are playing there.  Please help us keep our fields safe for everyone by using the VHS, stadium or Sailorway parking lots only.

RELAY FOR LIFE
Congratulations to all of the teams that came out to support Relay for Life that was held at VHS stadium last weekend.  The weather was wonderful this year and it was a very successful event for our community.
