Victoria Loves Our Volunteers

On Tuesday, May 25th we held our annual Volunteer Tea. Staff spruced up the Multi-purpose room with tablecothes and freshly-cut roses from our gardens displayed in china tea cups to create an atmosphere appropriate for such a special event. Staff also prepared fancy "tea-party" refreshments to accompany iced-tea and lemonade.

This year, we recognized a total of sixty-six volunteers who gave of their time to help make our school a better place. These volunteers have been seen throughout the school year helping in the classrooms, assisting students in the library or computer lab, chaparoning field trips, making copies, reading with students, organizing activities, working out (exercising/playing) with students before school and at recess (RoadRunners), and in manyother ways.

Mrs. Tammy Schipske (pictured in below, sitting on the right) was selected as Victoria's Volunteer of the Year. This is what one teacher said about Mrs. Schipske:

Tammy Schipske is an awesome volunteer who goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is seen working around Victoria 24/7 (or at least 7.5/5) doing everything and anything needed by any student or any staff members. Her volunteer 'duties' are endless - helping in classrooms and the library, actively participating in P.T.A., laminating for teachers, and doing whatever else is needed. She helps in every way possible and always with a big smile on her face.
We LOVE you Victoria Volunteers! Thank you all for helping us have another successful school year!
