| Basketball News |
Coaches Harvey, Vieth, and Berry, and all basketball team members offer their love, thanks, and best wishes to Sara and Sean Pourian for the contributions they have made to our school, their classmates, and their teams. The team presented both Sara and Sean, who will be leaving Village at the end of this semester, with a signed basketball as well as their own team jersey at their final practice with the team this week. We hope the Pourians will be blessed in all endeavors and visit often. Go Vikings!

| Village School Gala Wrap-up |
Many thanks to Beverly and Peter Farrell for chairing the most successful Gala ever!!! Thanks to the efforts of the Farrells and all of their volunteers, the Gala raised about $100,000 for the Parent Teacher Advisory Board. The PTAB is very happy to announce its pledge to purchase a new 50-passenger bus - complete with seatbelts and air conditioning - for the school. The PTAB is also considering the purchase of an additional bus to round out the school's fleet. The hope would be to purchase enough buses to accommodate class field trips and sports team travel to away games.
Now is the time to volunteer for the 2008 Gala committees! Since the Gala is usually in the Fall, many of the positions are filled by Spring. If you are interested in working on the Gala next year in any capacity, please e-mail VikingVoices@aol.com and your name will be put on the list! If you are interested in chairing a committee, please indicate this. The position of Gala chairperson(s) is still available!!!! |

THANK YOU |
A big thank you to all the middle school parents for their generous contributions to the teacher gift.
The staff is truly appreciative of your kindness and thoughtfulness. |
| PLEASE SIGN IN |

Any age child that arrives late or leaves early, for any reason, must be signed in or out by a parent at the reception desk. This includes being late for school in the morning. Thank you all for helping us keep all our children safe and happy. |
| Parent Teacher Association coming to The Village School |
 |
|
On January 10, 2008 at 6:30 P.M., there will be a meeting for all parents and staff of The Village School who are interested in forming a Parent Teacher Association organized under the Texas Congress of Parents and Teachers (Texas PTA). Through the PTA, we hope to provide greater support for our school and expand upon opportunities for parents to participate in our school community. Everyone is welcome to join, attend meetings, volunteer for committees, and participate in educational and community-building events. Once we have established the PTA, future contributions made through such successful endeavors as our magazine drive and gala may be claimed as charitable deductions. And, as with the current Parent Teacher Advisory Board, all fund-raising conducted by the PTA will directly serve our children and The Village School. Look for more detailed information to come in the mail over the holiday break! |
