Parents please note that the supplies used in the clinic are purchased entirely by PTO funds. With over 8,000 clinic visits per school year, we indeed generate a "huge" need for ongoing replenishing of supplies. I am, and the children of VCE are VERY GRATEFUL to the PTO for their most generous & constant support of the VCE Clinic & our "awesome" children!
