ALUMNI SOCIAL AND
MEMORABILIA SALE
Vermilion School’s alumni and guests are invited to a special Alumni
Social on Thursday, May 14 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Vermilion High School. We hope that many of you will visit VHS to socialize
and reminisce with your peers and former classmates. The evening will feature an auction of
memorabilia items, live music, light food and beverages, and tours of the newly
renovated high school. Proceeds from the
sale will support the Yearbook and Broadcast Journalism programs.
SCHOOL TRAGEDY
We were all deeply affected by the tragic loss of one of our students
this week. Xander Cormier was a bright,
happy and fun loving kindergarten student who dreamed of becoming a superhero
so he could help others. Our teachers
and his fellow students will miss his great smile and positive attitude. The loss of a friend is difficult for all of
us, but especially for our younger students.
Our counseling staff was available throughout the week to help teachers
and students through this painful time.
Please join us in keeping this young family in your prayers and
thoughts. If you are interested in
assisting them with medical and other expenses, a fund has been set up for
donations. Visit http://www.gofundme.com/u2jab3b3 to make your donation.
PROGRESS ON FIELD HOUSE
It is exciting to watch the daily progress on the field house, with walls
now taking shape and decisions being made about interiors and equipment. We are looking forward to next year when all
of our students will be on a single campus.
The improvements in the area, such as road paving, landscaping and new
grass around the building, a sidewalk connecting the athletic complex, etc.
will make our school district one that we can all be proud of. Our campus will be a standout for visitors who
come for school and community events, and will hopefully help with Vermilion’s
tourism efforts. We are also excited to begin
offering all of these amenities to our students and the entire community. Everyone will be welcome to take advantage of
what the buildings offer. Our goal is to
keep the doors open as much as possible for use by residents. We take pride in what the community has created,
and will continually look for ways to improve.
PROM THIS WEEKEND
The theme of this year’s Prom is “Enchanted Forest” and preparations are
underway to transform the school for those attending the dance on
Saturday. As always, we welcome parents and
visitors to view and take pictures of the students as they arrive from 6:00 to
7:00 PM. I would like to mention and
give a special thank you to the Prom-to-Dawn committee for their dedication in
offering Prom attendees an exciting and fun place to gather after the Prom
ends. Both events take a lot of work to
prepare, but the result is a safe and enjoyable weekend for our students and
their guests.
