Hi Puma Families!

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and get a chance to enjoy some time together, especially with the beautiful weather ahead. ☀️

We’d also like to send a big thank you to the 173rd for showing up and helping make our VMS M.O.M.C. Bootcamp such a fun and awesome day!

Puma families, as you’re getting ready for next week, please take a moment to check your student’s backpack and make sure they have the supplies they need—paper, pencils, and erasers—so they’re prepared for school.

Your Puma Family!
