Vilonia Elementary parents and students came out strongly in support of their school's art program yesterday evening. A spaghetti supper/dessert silent auction/artwalk, and bookfair kept everyone happy and entertained. There was something for every appetite! Mrs. Berry was the overall VES Dessert Diva, selling her cheesecake for $65. A delicious and entertaining evening was enjoyed by all.
With over 4,500 items collected, and the number still mounting, Vilonia Primary School met the THV challenge and then some! And the reward? Two lucky pigs received kisses from the principal, a few teachers, and the crew of Today's THV.
Here, Mr. Ratliff plants one on Abigail the pig.
