New Marquee

If you are one of the many people that travel Crystal Road each day you may have noticed a new feature at Vestaburg Community Schools.  Yes, that is right we now have an electronic marquee! However, before you say, "how did they pay for that?" let me explain that it was all done through the hard work of a dedicated individual, Mrs. Kate Bissell, and the generosity of our community through the Community Foundation and the community box-top donations.  Mrs. Bissell was the primary driving force for this project seeking out donations and working with the sign company to design the new marquee.  As part of this project, the Community Foundation also stepped up and supported the project with a sizable donation.  Thus, I would like to offer our sincere gratitude for this great gift!

While the new marquee looks nice with our updated logo and a modern feel it is our intention that it will be a great communication tool for our school district and our entire community.  We envision being able to communicate upcoming school and community events to the entire community on a regular basis.  The ease and efficiency of changing the message will allow us to update daily providing instant communication to our community, something the old marquee did not allow us to do.  Furthermore, this just continues our mission to continue to improve communication with our students, parents, and community.  This along with the social media tools and the automated calling system that have been implemented in the past year will hopefully make it so that everyone can stay informed.  It is my goal that we get to a point where everyone receives so much communication that they say, "gee whiz, this is is the 3rd or 4th time that I have been told about this" instead of  "I never heard or seen that".

So with all of that said, on behalf of Vestaburg Community Schools, Thank you Mrs. Bissell, The Community Foundation, everyone that donated box-tops, and the VCS maintenance and technology departments for all of your hard work and generosity in making this project happen.  Once again it is one more reason we should all have pride in our school and our community and say proudly, WE ARE VESTABURG!
