VHS MUSICAL A SUCCESS

Congratulations to our music and drama departments for a successful presentation of “Anything Goes”.  I hope many of you were able to see the show this year.  The student performances were outstanding.  We are very proud of our team of music and drama instructors for the exceptional programming they offer our community throughout the year. 

AUDITORIUM RENOVATION

The Vermilion Board of Education recognized the need to upgrade our auditorium and allocated enough money for basic renovations.  We are asking for help from the community to transform the auditorium into a performing arts venue that lives up to Vermilion’s tradition of excellence in music and theater.  There are two ways community members can participate.  A donation of $100 will purchase an armchair plaque that will be engraved with your dedication, and embedded into the arm of each auditorium seat.  For a donation of $200 your name or memorial will be etched onto a large plaque that will be permanent affixed to the wall outside the auditorium doors.  Money raised through these programs will be used to support the drama, music and art programs in all schools.  More information and registration forms are available on our website, www.vermilionschools.org.  Heidi Riddle is coordinating this project.  Please email her at hriddle@vermilionschools.org with any questions.

I was asked to remind all Vermilion High School Seniors and parents/guardians interested in applying for scholarships available through Vermilion Schools that the scholarship applications are due in the Student Services office no later than Monday, April 6, 2015 at 3:00 PM.  Please check the qualifications for each scholarship, and make sure that all required letters of recommendation and essays are attached to your application.

The annual Fine Arts Fair is coming up on Friday, April 17, and will be held this year at Vermilion High School.  This has become one of our most popular annual events, and showcases great artwork from students of all ages.   The show starts at 3:00 PM, with the silent auction at 5:30 PM.  The auction will feature some donated works, as well.
