    VCS Yearbooks are designed by a team of our own middle school students, and professionally printed in beautiful full color on recycled paper by a green certified printer. 

    Each yearbook comes with 2 customizable pages which are FREE and printed only in YOUR book. Want more custom pages? Each additional 2 pages is just $0.99.

    For every yearbook sold, Trees for the Future plants a tree in our school’s name. This grove of trees is planted by local families in countries devastated by deforestation and global climate change. Each year, these trees will replace many tons of pollution from the atmosphere with life-giving oxygen.

    To date, VCS yearbook sales have planted 631 trees and counting!

     ➤ NWP Spring Academic Exhibition

    Northwest Prep Charter School invites you to our Spring Academic Exhibition on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at 6 pm at Northwest Prep Charter School. The driving question for this event is: “What modes of food production will best sustain the future? 

    We will kick the evening off with a greeting and overview in the MPR at 6 pm before releasing you to classrooms for TED talk performances. You will later return to the MPR to play the student-designed board games and visit with seniors at the senior grotto to learn more about their semester-long research project.  We look forward to you joining us.

     ➤ Science Club 

    Enrichment Activity! We would like to offer a  Wednesday afternoon science club during the month of May. We need a few parent volunteers to help run it so we can offer it to more kids – there’s been a lot of interest on the part of the kids already. It will be offered to grades 1-3. No science background needed on the part of the parents. Interested parents can reach out  to me via email at bojana.anglin@gmail.com,  –Bojana (Harben’s mom)
