VWES Families,
Our VWES Fall Festival is this Saturday, October 5th 12p-4. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
Our PTO and Indian Land/Lancaster community has gone above and beyond to bring this exciting event to fruition. Come out with your family and spend the beautiful afternoon enjoying all the fun activities we’ve put together. See the attachment for parking information and activities we have planned!
This is NOT a drop off event- please stay with your children.
This event is FREE but there will be Food Trucks on site for purchases and the School Store will be open.
If you registered to submit a pumpkin in our Pumpkin Decorating/Carving Contest, please have it ready to drop off in car rider line on Friday morning. Please attach a piece of tape to your pumpkin with your student’s name and grade labeled on it. The PTO will be in Car Rider line to pick up the pumpkins from your children. If you’re not able to drop it off in car rider line, please take it into the front office on Friday.

Dear Families,
Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: September 30-October 4
There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/vwes
While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.
When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair.
Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.
Happy reading!
PS: Need one more reason to visit the Book Fair? Every purchase at the Fair benefits our school!

We are excited for the sports seasons and after-school activities to be underway. Lancaster County School District places safety for students, staff, and community members as a priority. Please join us in keeping our campuses and facilities safe.
First and foremost, we expect every visitor to our activities to be respectful toward the athletes, thespians, band members, staff, administrators, other guests, and law enforcement partners working at our events.
All guests to our district events are required to adhere to our Clear Bag Policy. When guests come to our facilities, they will not be permitted into the activities with any bag other than a clear bag. The bags also may not be larger than 12 by 12 inches and 6 inches deep. For more information. click on the Clear Bag Policy.
Weapons are not permitted on school property – including during sporting events, forums, and arts performances - unless you are a sworn law enforcement officer permitted to carry with proper identification. Our Safety and Security team will be working entrances to many of our events to screen guests for weapons.
Entry to District Events
This year we have revised our entry guidelines for school events to promote a safer environment for our community.
Anyone under the age of 18 not currently enrolled in school must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or responsible adult.
Elementary and middle school students must have an adult accompany them at events. No elementary and middle school students will be permitted to stay unaccompanied.
Guests to our events will not be allowed to stand, congregate, or “hang out” in the concourse or around the concession stand areas during events.
Any violation of rules may result in removal or being trespassed.
Our safety and security team will continue collaborating with the Lancaster Police Department and Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office to ensure everyone can feel comfortable and safe in our facilities.
*This applies to all events open to the public. This does not apply to internal school events that are not open to the public such as prom, dances, club/organization activities
