VSDB is participating in a campus-wide food drive challenge for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Students and staff are grouped into color categories and have challenged each other to see which color group can collect the most and which color group has the most spirit! Consider wearing your team's color on our weekly Wednesday spirit days! Yellow: Pre-k through 5th, Green: 6th through 8th, Red: 9th through 11th, Blue: 12th. Our students and staff on all four teams have all contributed and, together, have already donated food and money to provide 1500 meals from the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank!!! We would like to highlight that we have had $375 donated to the drive so far, with $150 coming in from EyeOne PLC Retina Care of Virginia. We sincerely appreciate their support and encourage other companies to join in the fun. Keep up the amazing work. Here's our link on the BRAFB site: https://give.brafb.org/VSDB (please remember to comment a team color if you'd like your donation to get added to a specific team total).
