Officials Appreciation Week- as was announced at last night's VB game this week is set aside by the SDHSAA to recognize fall sports officials. These dedicated men and women take time away from their personal schedules and families to provide opportunities for thousands of athletes across the State. In addition, they have to attend rules & region meetings, clinics, and take tests in preparation for the season. Let's do our best to show our appreciation for them, not just this week, but at all times!
Reminder: VH has five days of school this week (Monday, October 7-Friday, October 11). There will be no PreK on Friday. The extra 5-day school weeks are due to an extended Christmas break.
