The VMS STUCO hosted a fun competition to see which Badger Pause Advisory could donate the most boxes of graham crackers. Mrs. Doyle's classroom crushed the competition with 319 boxes! In total, students/parents donated 583 total boxes. These donations will be shared amongst the various Badger Pause classes, so that all students have a small snack to fuel their hungry bodies.
A special thank you to Doyle's Oaklei Hawthorn (and her parents) for her amazing last-minute donation!
