We hope everyone has had a great beginning to the school year! Verner is looking forward to a wonderful 2016-2017 school year and hopes that all of our parents will get involved through the school and through the PTA.

Our VIP (Verner Improvement Program) campaign has started and we encourage all parents to join. By joining VIP, you help fund many of the wonderful activities and events for students at Verner and provide books and other resources for our classrooms. If you were not able to join during Verner’s Meet-and-Greet, you can complete a form and submit your payment by cash, check, PayPal, or credit card. Becoming a VIP is easy and now offers three ways for you to join, pay your membership, and support your student’s education:

• Paper Form: Complete a paper form and return to your student’s homeroom teacher with your cash or check payment of $150.00 (suggested amount per child). Click here for a copy of the form.
• Electronic Payment via PayPal: Make your payment of $150.00 per child byway of PayPal. A link to the Verner PayPal site is located here and on the VIP page of this blog.
• Credit Card: Complete a paper form and return to your student’s homeroom teacher with your credit card information (card number, name on card, expiration date, 3-digit security code on back).

Your participation in VIP is vital to our students and our school. This is Verner’s ONLY school-wide fundraiser (so no selling of cookie dough, magazines, etc.) and funds raised through VIP are used to benefit our students. VIP pays for library books, textbooks, classroom supplies, a computer teacher, annual Spring Fling, reading rewards, art and PE materials, and so much more.

Your membership donation is tax-deductible and you will receive a VIP magnet or sticker to display and show your support for Verner.
