Greetings!

As we enter the holiday season, it is an opportunity to reflect.  And with this reflection, it is clear that the last several months have been some of the toughest that we have had to endure, but yet with this, we continue to find a way to prevail.

This is the Alice Way and the only way that the overwhelming majority of our people know.  I am appreciative of our many people who are always willing to step up and with this provide leadership.  This includes many of our staff members to our students to our parents.  So, with this, I say thank you.

As we get into to the holiday season, there are many ways in which you can get yourself involved in supporting our students and this includes from the different music concerts to the sporting events.

With the latter, one of the most exciting athletic events has been the return of elementary basketball on Saturday mornings.  It has been great to see our students, parents, grandparents, and others supporting the elementary schools as this program returns after nearly a 10-year absence.  I cannot thank our elementary student athletes, their coaches and their teachers who offer support enough.  This has been one of the most rewarding things to see on Saturdays.

The pride that each student has for their respective school has been awesome and our students are doing an awesome job.

But with this, we have so many more awesome things happening throughout the VCSC.  Our middle school students just completed an awesome musical performance of Freaky Friday to our high school band students who just returned from Disney to our elementary school students who are doing Project Lead the Way.

The bottom line is that we have so much happening and this does not happen without the talented staff leading each of the different programs throughout the VCSC but with this we must have the participation of our students and this is what it is all about.

So, as we prepare for the holidays and with this a time of reflection, I am thankful for all our youngest of the young to the oldest of the old as we continue to show all others what the Alice Way is all about.

Happy Holiday to all of those that associate themselves with the Alices!
