Stay in the know with the Verner Weekly and mark your calendars for the month of November! Lots of wonderful things happening this month!
VERNER CARES
Verner is partnering with Greenbrier Elementary in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Greenbrier was under 3-4 feet of water during the flooding in August and has currently relocated at a local middle school until next year. VERNER CARES is a service- minded project for our kids to get involved! We will be asking for donations to help teachers repair and restock their classrooms. In addition to donations, our students will be participating in a communication project with Greenbrier, putting a face and name for our kids. We want them to know WHO they are helping and WHY.
*Donations are being collected from Monday, October 31st thru Friday, November 4th. Minimum $5 donation to receive a VERNER CARES bracelet. Our goal is for EVERY Verner student and faculty member to wear a bracelet for the Alabama vs LSU game on Saturday, November 5th
