Early Childhood Center

We want you! ….to check out Volleyball! The HS volleyball teams are running a volleyball clinic from 9am - 12pm on August 28th for all kids grades 3-8. The cost is $25 and includes the clinic and a shirt. We would like participants to preregister, but will also take walk-ins the day of the clinic. We are using this both as a fundraiser and as an opportunity to get more kids excited about volleyball to help grow the district's programs. We are asking you to please share the flyer and registration site with your families -- via social media, email, with your back to school information, etc. I have attached the flyer with registration info. If anyone has questions, you can email Sarah Igonin for more information at sigonin@vanburenschools.net Click here to Register: https://bit.ly/BHSVBClinic
