In-kind Donations
In addition to the Annual Campaign fundraising that is crucial to the fiscal health and well-being of the Academy, VADA also relies on the generosity of its community supporters who donate much-needed goods and services. Donations that are very much appreciated include classroom and office supplies, potluck dishes and catering services, carpentry and landscaping expertise.
See VADA’s Amazon wish list for examples of our current material needs, which include office supplies like printing paper and post-it notes, classroom supplies like tissues and sponges, as well as larger items like folding tables and a market canopy. You can also support Friends of VADA through the Amazon Smile program.
Another easy way to support VADA is to sign up for E-Scrip, so that a percentage of your regular family purchases of groceries, clothing, etc., will be automatically contributed to VADA by the merchants you frequent. Register using Friends of VADA E-Scrip #500025431.
Volunteering
With an exceptionally large number of field trips, art shows, fundraisers and special events like our annual Holiday Party and VADA Graduation, we always need committed volunteers to help with planning, set up/clean up, and other tasks essential to organized and successful events.
Stay in the loop about upcoming events and volunteer needs by joining Parent Square. ParentSquare is a communication and organization tool designed to keep parents informed and involved in their children’s learning and school activities. See the Friends of VADA Board of Directors tab above for further volunteering opportunities, including serving on event committees.
