Pastries with Parents - Friday, March 22nd,
7:45 AM - 8:30 Am
The PTA is excited to invite students and parents to VES for pastries and coffee. Doors open at 7:45 AM and the event ends at 8:30 AM. Due to limited space in the cafeteria, we are asking that only one parent per household attend this event.
RSVP: Please take a few seconds to RSVP - it goes a long way to help us plan a fun event: Pastries with Parents. Don’t forget to include the total number of people attending for your household (parent plus each child).
Volunteer Opportunity: We are looking for a few parent volunteers to help out on the morning of the event. For more details and to sign up, please Click Here. Thanks for considering!
Event Parking: The school parking lot is reserved for VES staff only. You can easily park at the Patrick Henry Library parking lot, and walk over to VES cafeteria door (Labeled #5) on the side of the school. Parking is also available at the Vienna Community Center. However, students and/or guests with disabilities are welcome to access the school using the VES main parking lot and main entrance door (Labeled #1).
Food safety: we will be serving special savory and sweet treats (many baked and donated by talented VES parents). We want everyone to have a positive and safe experience. If you or your child has food sensitivities or allergies, before making food selections, please ask servers about items, and/or look at the list of ingredients posted on the table. For those with severe allergies, please enjoy treats from the dedicated allergy-friendly station.
Safely View the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8
A total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8, and will be viewable, depending on weather, in Fairfax County. The eclipse will begin in our area around 2:04 p.m. and end around 4:32 p.m., with the maximum eclipse occurring around 3:20 p.m.
Because the timing overlaps with dismissal, it is crucial that students understand the importance of safe viewing practices. We encourage families to review these Solar Eclipse Resources, especially the eye safety information. We hope everyone takes the opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary natural phenomenon while prioritizing safe solar viewing.
