Calling all fashionisters and fashionistas: There is going to be a Trashion Show, hosted jointly by all four visual arts departments of VUSD. Information meeting will be Thursday at lunch in A-9. Prizes, film, and fame await. Modeled after such reality shows as Fashion Runway and Face-Off, the teams will create a wearable piece built upon the model of their choosing using only recycled, re-purposed materials.  The event is for both the designers, their teams and those who just want to watch a fun-filled, perhaps somewhat tension-filled, competition and fashion...er Trashion Show. The actual event will be held on May 12 at Redwood HS gym with food being sold. Teams will be limited to 3 designer/builders and one model, with an entrance fee of $5, which will cover the cost of glues, tapes, etc.

Dress Code Policy: Due to the weather getting warmer, no beanies along with no other hats are to be worn on campus. We will be strict on enforcing our dress code policy.

LOST & FOUND:  Come by the attendance office to identify any lost items:  There is clothing, cell phones, keys, and other random items.  Unclaimed items will eventually get donated to The Goodwill.
