Van Buren Elementary is gearing up and looking forward to our Kindness Movement next week! Please see a short video below from Mr. Helmuth and Mrs. Manning explaining the movement. Feel free to reach out to your child's teacher for any questions!
Van Buren has a wonderful PTO, and we appreciate the work they have done to create this event for our school! There is also a link to a flyer created by our PTO.

Van Buren staff and students focus on drug awareness and prevention Red Ribbon week (October 25-29). Special dress-up days are planned as part of the week's events.
November 8-19, Van Buren students will be challenged to do as many acts of kindness as possible. There is no better time than during the Thanksgiving season to encourage everyone to be kind, generous, and caring. Look for more details in the coming days. Thank you PTO for organizing this great event.
