Mrs. Julie Pellegrin, VCHS Dean of Academics stated, “After three years of not being able to host the elementary school rally due to the pandemic and Hurricane Ida, it was wonderful to see all of the young scholars back on our campus. This tradition was started 30 years ago by Mr. David Boudreaux and is certainly an event that we look forward to hosting each year.”
