The VMEPC is dedicated to fostering a positive learning environment for all students at Van Meter Elementary. We strive to build unity between the students, school, and community through open communication, collaborative planning, and financial assistance.
VMEPC is an elementary parent committee comprised of parent volunteers. We as a committee raise money to help fund school field trips, teacher appreciation week, equipment for physical education, STEM supplies, books for the library and more.
My name is Amanda Dougherty. I will be the president of VMEPC for the 2024-25 school year. I have two children now in the Van Meter School District. My husband Jordan and I have lived in Van Meter for 7 years. I have always loved the idea of being able to have a direct impact on the success of another wonderful year at Van Meter. I am looking forward to what this year holds!

I am Katie Fischer. My husband Andrew and I moved to Van Meter in 2018. We have 3 kids, Braeden (4th), Madilynn (1st) and Josephine (3 years old). We came to Van Meter for the small school district and amazing community surrounding it. I have been involved in VMEPC since the 2021-22 school year and love it! As someone who was new to the district it was a great way for me to meet teachers, other parents and learn more about our school and how it all works. If you can’t volunteer, I recommend coming to meetings so you can hear what is going on from Mr. Tibbets, learn from the teachers and build connections with others in the district.

VMEPC raises money utilizing events in the community throughout the year in order to fund items and experiences for our staff and children including but not limited to:
There are several yearly events that VMEPC holds including:
Adult Prom
Adult Prom is VMEPC’s largest fundraiser. This is a night where Van Meter parents come together for a night of dinner, drinks, dancing and a chance to bid on live and silent auction items. Are you a party planner, decorator or just want an opportunity to meet new people in our community? Consider joining the Adult Prom Committee!
Note: Even if you do not have a child(ren) in the Elementary, you are ALWAYS welcome to attend adult prom.
Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation gives us the opportunity to show our teachers that we appreciate all they do for our children and school. Join the teacher appreciation committee and help plan Teacher Appreciation Week.
Bulldog Boost
Bulldog Boost is an extension of showing our teachers we appreciate them. We love partnering with Bulldog Love providing snacks for all PK-12. Volunteer now to help give a little boost to our teachers by delivering snacks and drinks to their classroom during one of the many Bulldog Boost days.
VMEPC Community
As a small community, we want to provide opportunities for families to get together outside of school. Our mission is to provide events that all Van Meter community members can enjoy. This year we will utilize our partnerships with other community groups to come together in our events.
Special Adult and Child Nights
Parents and their children have a special night to celebrate being a bulldog! Make a night to remember for your child by helping organize and volunteer for the VMEPC's Daughter Dance or Son Dance.
We are always excited to welcome new parents to become a part of VMEPC. We look forward to hearing from you!
