Vestavia Hills City Schools Foundation
The Foundation has given over $1.8 Million to our school system, the Foundation is an asset that is essential to providing everything we expect for our students. I have included information below from the Foundation's Executive Director, Tait Stoddard.

My name is Tait Stoddard and I am the Executive Director of the Vestavia Hills City Schools Foundation. I am so excited that Pitch In is here! East will be “Pitching In” the week of January 27-31, 2025. Students will receive a cup on Friday, January 24. These cups for Pitch In are “mood” cups and they are theirs to keep. I think they are cute, and the kids will love them. 
 
The concept of this campaign is for the student to fill their cups with money (dollars, coins, or a check) and return filled cups to school to grow the Foundation’s endowment. Thank you so much for all you do for the children at East. Please help me get the students excited about PITCH IN!!!

There will be special groups in carpool each morning to promote the campaign and also dress up days.
Monday 1/27- VHHS Cheerleaders (Rebel Gear)
Tuesday 1/28- VHHS Baseball Team (Backwards Day)
Wednesday 1/29- VHHS Rockets (Crazy Socks)
Thursday 1/30- East Dads ($5 Pajama Day)
Friday 1/31- VHHS Boys Basketball (Favorite Jersey)
