Saints News - 12.16.21

December 16, 2021

Greetings! Enjoy our Saints News!

HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSINGS

VCHS parents rose to the 5 Days | 5 Reasons challenge last week! More than 42% have made a gift to the All Saints Fund. Thank you so much to all of those who participated last week and who are listed on the Parent Honor Roll. If you haven’t yet made a gift, it’s not too late. Feel free to do that here. We will continue to update the Parent Honor Roll through the end of December.

Through parent support, so far we have raised $72,676 towards our overall $250,000 All Saints Fund goal. With additional parent support, as well as through our alumni parents and friends, I’m certain we will reach that goal.

Thank you to all of our Class Captains listed below. Thank you so much for your support of our students, teachers, and school. And let’s not forget to thank God for His blessings toward us this 1^st Semester.

Merry Christmas!

Steve O'Neil

COMMUNITY

Happy Healthy Brain Foundation

Return to Play Event

The goal of this event is to create awareness and educate parents and athletes on the seriousness of concussions, and how we can utilize new, objective technologies to ensure SAFE return-to-play protocols.

This will prevent our youth from developing concussion derived mental health issues, and help to sustain healthy family lives in our beloved Eagle County.

Happy Healthy Brain Foundation (H2B) is honored and excited to welcome special guest, Dr. Syed Asad (MD) as the keynote

speaker for this event, alongside H2B Founder and Olympian, Jake Pates.
