Thank you!Our annual Rocket Blast fundraiser was a tremendous success, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our incredible families and community for your generosity and support. Because of you, we are able to provide meaningful resources and experiences that truly enrich teaching and learning at Vaughan. Thanks to Rocket Blast donations, we have already been able to invest in: These projects would not be possible without your support, and we are very grateful. We had originally planned to use a portion of the proceeds to replace the intermediate playground cover. After a recent pressure washing by CCSD and a follow‑up with the vendor, we are happy to share that the cover still has plenty of life in it. This allowed us to rethink how best to use those funds—and we are thrilled with what’s next! A library makeover! We are excited to share that Rocket Blast funds will be used to modernize and revamp our library. Our vision includes: We are just beginning this library project and cannot wait to share updates and photos as the transformation unfolds. Thank you again for your continued partnership and for investing in our students. Your generosity makes Vaughan an even more vibrant and inspiring place to learn! |
