As our final Vandy Olympics begin tomorrow, our staff have been working tirelessly to make it the best experience we can for our students.

Even though our doors will close after this school year, two of our staff members worked diligently to keep the pride of our building alive.

Out of their work days and hours, Ms. Dennis painted the walls of our front hallway to prepare them for a mural that Mrs. Baranoski painted for the students. Later, Mrs. Baranoski helped students leave their final marks on our beloved Van Devender Middle school.

The final public walkthrough of Van Devender will be on June 28th. We will keep you updated on the times as we get closer to the event.
