8 schools september25 2012 Buy SCRIP to Support VHS Band Do you like the fact that Vernonia’s high school band is playing at a state champi- onship level? Want to support the band pro- gram to keep it running at a high level? Don’t have much to give? Happily, there are a record number of fifth grade students who wish to be in band this year. Sadly, there are not enough instru- ments for all these new musicians and many struggle to afford rent from a music store. The instruments are old and they cost a lot to keep in repair. The school is not even able to afford toner for our class printer. Here is how you can help and it won’t cost you a penny that you wouldn’t normally spend anyway! Look over the SCRIP order form with over 200 businesses from which to choose. If you find some that you foresee patronizing anyway, simply purchase a gift card in the specified denominations offered. You then use your gift card just like cash. It is good at any location, and it never expires. The great thing about buying the gift card through the band is that we get to keep a cer- tain percentage of the sale. With the district budget issues, this is a great opportunity to keep this program run- ning strong. You can download an order form from the district website, http://www.vernonia.k12. or.us. Just look for the VHS BAND SCRIP logo on the right. Or you can come and fill one out just inside the main doors of the new school. Check off what you want to order, at- tach a payment made out to VCPTA (Vernonia Community PTA), and turn it in to the school office or at the SCRIP table any morning be- Vernonia Schools Receives Special Gift From Local Businessmen On Tuesday, Sep- tember 4 Vernonia Schools Superintendent Ken Cox was presented with a piece of art- work for the halls of the new Vernonia Schools.
