What's Going On... COMMUNITY FORUM Our new principal, Dr. Ruben Zepeda, has asked PTSO to host a community forum so that he can meet the students, speak to parents, answer community concerns, and share his vision for VHS. And he REALLY wants to meet you! Come find out what's going on with the new campus construction and also what's going on with the current campus. —Monday, July 26, 6:00 p.m. at Acton School! CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL — START A MOVEMENT! Ever pulled into the VHS parking lot and thought, “Hmm, a little TLC here and there would work wonders”? Dr. Zepeda and PTSO are committed to introducing the concept of curb appeal to VHS. No, this doesn't mean the new campus is stalled—we simply believe that, while the current campus is temporary (henceforth, the T-word), every hour our students spend there they carry away and keep forever. We are looking for muscle, tools, materials, and time. See the dates in the left column and set a little of your time aside to make Vasquez a welcoming place by September. We need all the help we can get! POUR SOME ENGLISH ON ME The Vasquez literary magazine is still available. Now in its second year, this collection of stories, essays, and artwork showcases the talent that abounds on the VHS campus. Available at Perkin' Up or from English teacher Jan Hudson.
