**🌱 Community & Parent Volunteer Day at Venetia Elementary! 🌿**

It takes a village to help our school thrive, and we'd love your support!

We're looking for parents, families, community members, and local partners to join us for a **Campus Beautification Volunteer Day**. Together, we'll help make our campus an even more welcoming place for our students and staff.

Volunteer projects include:

* Planting flowers and refreshing our garden beds
* Raking leaves and clearing outdoor areas
* General grounds maintenance and beautification
* Light landscaping and campus cleanup
*NEEDED: Any parent/community partner with a weed eater and/or pressure washer. If you have those items, it would be great if you could bring them to use in a few areas.

Whether you can volunteer for an hour or the entire event, your time and talents will make a meaningful difference.
Date📅 & Time⌚: Thursday, July 16th from 8:30 AM-10:30 AM.

A beautiful campus reflects the pride we have in our school and creates an inviting environment where our students can continue **Growing & Thriving…Anywhere We Are!**

Good Evening, Venetia Families! Thank you again for a wonderful school year. We hope your summer is off to a great start! We are officially packed and ready for our move. Venetia will transition into our temporary relocation space during the week of June 22. Be on the lookout for information about our Campus Beautification Day and school tour dates in July. These opportunities will allow students and families to visit and become familiar with our new space before we open our doors in August. We are looking forward to an amazing 2026–2027 school year as we embrace this temporary transition while our brand-new Venetia campus is being built. Exciting things are ahead, and we can’t wait to continue learning and growing together. Do you have an incoming kindergartner or know a family interested in joining Venetia? We are open all summer and currently accepting registrations for the upcoming school year. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we’ll see you soon! Venetia Strong! 💙💚
