Our Mission
VWC PTA welcomes you and thanks you for visiting our website.
The purpose of our PTA is to assist educators in providing diverse, enriching activites for our students and their families. We attempt to accomplish this through volunteer coordination, fund raising and the organization of child and family-oriented activities. Be sure to check back frequently for up to date information on things happening in and around our school. Please send us any suggestions or questions you may have, and be sure to come out and join us at one of our PTA meetings!

Dear Parents and Guardians:
Welcome Back! We are ending another summer that seems to have gone by too quickly. We hope that you enjoyed a happy and safe summer vacation.
Verne W. Critz has an excited and dedicated PTA Board this year and we are looking forward to working with your children. We have many great events and fundraising ideas planned for this year. Some might be familiar to you and others are even new to us. However, we cannot do it alone. We invite you to help us by joining the PTA and, if you can, by volunteering your time at the various events that we have. Nothing is more rewarding than the proud looks on your child's face when they see you helping.
Please take a few minutes to fill out a PTA membership form and return it us (click here to download: Verne W. Critz PTA Membership Form). Your support is what helps us to provide the many free events our PTA runs throughout the year. We welcome every parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, and guardian to join.
We will be keeping you informed of all the meetings and events throughout the year. Please keep an eye out for reminder notices in your child's backpacks. You can also find additional information if you browse our webpage.
Our PTA meetings are generally held on the first Tuesday of each month. You can check the District calendar for exact dates and times. Our first PTA Meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 11th at 7:00 pm. Children are welcome to attend.
If you are ever in need of an answer, support, or have any suggestions, please feel free to contact myself or any of the other PTA Board members.
Let's work together to make this year an extraordinary one for the students of VWC!
Sincerely,
Debbie Uhrie
PTA President

Are you interested in helping out?
We're always in need of volunteers to help out with our many events. If you're interested in helping out, come to one of the PTA meetings (see schedule above)to hear what is going on and how your help is needed, or drop us an email (at the bottom of this page) and we will contact you to answer any questions you may have.
YOU DECIDE how much or how little you would like to be involved. Meet some of the many parents who are working to make a difference!
Thank you!
We thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts as these do help to fund some of our "free" events such as Movie Night, Snuggle Up and Read, and Third grade Picnic.
Your support also enables PTA funds to go towards bonus books for every child during book fair, author visits, 3rd graders yearbooks, back to school classroom supplies, and other special perks the children get to enjoy throughout the year.
Your support is appreciated!

Ongoing Fundraisers
Box Tops Recycling
Our Box Tops program helps us turn "Trash into Cash"! Each Box Top is worth 10 cents to our school so the benefits add up quickly when lots of you get involved! We have many fun contests planned, so keep clipping those Box Tops and send them in with your children. Look for notes sent home with your child, posting the date of our next collection. Thank you for your support with this program!
Please see our website page at:
Box Tops Info.
Inkjet/Laser & Cell Phone Recycling
Don't throw away those empty inkjet, laser printer cartridges and used cell phones! Our Recycling Program allows us to convert your trash into programs, events and supplies at our school. Please wrap them in plastic and send them into school with your child or drop them off at the Main Office of VWC or at one of our local collection drop off sites (The Pizza Shoppe, Coldwell Banker, E. Patchogue).
Your support is greatly appreciated!
For more information and to see how your donations help, please see our recycling webpage at:
