Send us a photo for the March slide show

Hello Parents,

As you may know, we've been opening our Student of the Month assemblies with a slide show highlighting life at HVV in the previous month. For March we thought it would be interesting to have a "what I did on my March break" theme for the show. Please email one picture of your child doing whatever he/she did over the break to Bronwen Thomas at blthomas@rogers.com ASAP with a final deadline of Friday, March 21 if you'd like your child to be included in the show.

Thanks very much,

Bronwen Thomas and Marlene Yip
