Thomas A. Kardish, President Lauren Carr '00, Principal "BECOME THE LIGHT" SENIOR EVENT
- Thursday, April 30
- A "Become the Light" event is when a school turns on their campus lights at 8:20 pm (which in military time is 20:20, a shoutout to the class of 2020), allowing the whole community to see it as a symbol of strength, solidarity, recognition, and celebration.
- For those who would like to participate — this is OPTIONAL — drive to Villa's campus at 8:00 pm to start getting into position. (Don't worry; some special guests will be there to guide you.) The car parade around the school will start at 8:20 pm (20:20), again, to honor your class of 2020. The entire campus will be lit up — the school, Maria Hall, Regina Hall, the sports garage, and the soccer field.
- Friday, April 24: Day 6-4
- Monday, April 27: Day 1
- Tuesday, April 28: Day 2
- Wednesday, April 29: OFFICE HOUR DAY
- Thursday, April 30: Day 4
- Friday, May 1: Day 5
- Sales of physical gift cards through Villa's Scrip program have been suspended temporarily. The purchase of e-gift cards and reloading funds to existing gift cards is a great way to get the things you need while continuing to earn tuition credits. Sales of physical cards will resume when school has returned to normal hours.
- Less than 2 weeks away ยท Grab your comfy pajamas, charge those computers, and get ready to bid from home. Winning exclusive Villa items has never been so easy!
- The Annual Spring Auction main event will now take place strictly online from May 5-9. If you enjoyed the 25 exclusive Pre-Auction items, then we're sure that you'll love the 200+ items that will be available for bid in May.
- Raffle tickets are available at www.vjmhs.org/auction for the winner's choice of a Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM tote, valued at $1,490, or $1,000 cash. Second and third prizes of $500 and $250, respectively, also will be awarded. Winners need not be present at the May 9 drawing.
- We officially opened our virtual doors on Thursday for our Spring Open House. Even though we wanted to meet all of our future Jems in person, it was necessary for us to continue social distancing at this time. Please share our virtual Open House at www.vjmhs.org/openhouse with anyone that may be interested in Villa.
