4th Grade Field Trip to the Symphony
The Lago Vista Women’s Club has kindly sponsored a field trip for our 4th graders to attend the Austin Symphony Orchestra at the Long Center on Monday, February 27th. We are excited for our students to listen to the sounds from “The Young People’s Concert.”
After the concert, students will go to Elizabeth Milburn Park for a picnic lunch and time to play. If it is not outside weather, we will return back to school for lunch. Don't forget to pack a sack lunch!

Take Care of Texas Art Contest
At LVIS, we have some AMAZING artists! I want to encourage students to participate and enter the “Take Care of Texas Kids Art Contest.” The Contest is a fun way for K-5 students to learn about protecting the environment and come up with creative ways to share this knowledge with others! Students submit their artwork of how they, along with their friends and family, help keep the air and water clean, conserve water and energy, and reduce waste. The prizes include a tablet or laptop computer. Good luck Vikings! For more information, visit the website at https://takecareoftexas.org/index.php/kids/k-5-art-contest
Contest closes - February 24th
