Vilas School District RE-5

This Thursday, our amazing students will be spreading kindness and lending a helping hand in the community. We encourage students in wearing work clothing, closed-toe shoes, hats, and sunscreen as we embark on this meaningful journey. Here's what's on the agenda for our Pay It Forward activities: ⭐ Community Cleanup: We'll be rolling up our sleeves and tidying up local parks and streets to keep our community clean and beautiful. ⭐ Volunteer Work: Our students will be volunteering to help community members' with projects, supporting their missions and making a positive impact right where it's needed most. We're excited to see the positive impact our students will make, and we invite you to join us in spreading kindness wherever you are. #PayItForward #SpreadKindness #CommunityService

We're looking forward to great weather and fun this Friday at the Elementary Track and Field Day. We will not have a concession stand this year due to scheduling conflict with a HS track meet. The cafeteria will serve breakfast and lunch as usual.
