🎉💙💛 PBIS KICK-OFF IS TOMORROW! 💛💙🎉

Van Wonderful Families, we are SO EXCITED to kick off PBIS tomorrow at The WINK! Our scholars have been busy designing their own cool tie-dye shirts, and we can’t wait to see them show off their creativity! 🌈✨

👕 Tomorrow’s Attire:
Scholars may wear their class-designed tie-dye shirts with jeans!

Please remember:
👖 Jeans must be distress-free — that means NO holes, NO rips, and NO frayed edges.

👟 Shoes must provide full coverage — closed-toe, closed-heel, and slip-resistant.

We’re ready for a day filled with school spirit, positive choices, and Van Wonderful fun! At The WINK, we celebrate doing the right thing and being our very best!
💙💛 Excellence is the Expectation! 💛💙
