Annual Green Day
Green Day has become a proud, school-wide tradition at VCI. For 8 years and counting, VCI students and staff take time out of their busy schedules by helping out senior citizens in the Vankleek Hill community. They rake leaves and clean up lawns, front and back, to make room for all of that wonderful new spring growth.
