Yearbook Ads
We are now taking ads for the 2018-2019 yearbook. Are you the parent of a 5th grader, or a local business owner? This is the perfect opportunity to send a special message to your graduating student, or get the word out about your business! All ad inquiries go to Chris Kueter at hckueter@gmail.com.

Luminary Submissions
VLM's Luminary Magazine seeks your kids' best creations - in painted, written, comic, sketched, and verse format - for its 2019 issue. All submitted full color art will be considered for our annual cover contest, which earns a cash prize and a coveted spot on the morning announcements.
For art entries, please bring original pieces (we will take extra care and return it by spring) to Ms. King in the front office, or send high quality, 300 dpi scans or photos to the editors: cpkueter@gmail.com.  Written entries may also be dropped off in the front office, given to your child's teacher, or be emailed directly to us: cpkueter@gmail.com.
Deadline for entries is April 20, but there's no time like the present to submit!
