School Committees

VAIS and its neighboring school, New Century Charter, are fortunate to be supported by the volunteer efforts of various school committees. These committees consist of both staff and parent members involved in increasing our school's impact, supporting our wonderful teachers and staff, and providing fun and educational events for our students and the community. Current committees include: 

FUNdraising

Chairs: Joanne Mueller, Amy Kennedy

The FUNdraising Committee is in charge of raising funds for the charter school materials such as Chinese curriculum, special events, extra materials for teachers, etc. We achieve this through a variety of events, direct fundraisers, and community events. 

Community Outreach

This committee focuses on ways to create sustainable student enrollment and retention, including social media plans, outreach and marketing, and a 4K ambassador list.
