Help make a difference in the lives of Vermilion County youth by donating to our annual shoe drive! With your help, we can provide students in need with new shoes to start the year on the right foot.
We are accepting shoes and monetary donations at our office, located at 200 S. College St., Suite B, in Danville. Your continued support is greatly appreciated!
This will be an evening of connection, support, and resource-sharing designed specifically for parents of children with dyslexia. This is a wonderful opportunity to build community and learn from the experiences of other families. We welcome parents of children of all ages to attend!
Our office will be closed today, September 7th. Have a fun and safe holiday!

🎉Last Friday, we hosted our annual Vermilion County Administrative Kickoff!🎉
It was a great day as area administrators came together to prepare for the upcoming school year! They heard from keynote speaker Sara Boucek, who spoke about the importance of maintaining passion as they head back into our schools.
We hope that our administrators left feeling refreshed and ready to take on the year ahead!
In observance of this holiday, our office will be closed on Friday, the 3rd. Have a fun and safe long weekend!
