Vista Fun Run
Parents and Families—this year’s main fundraiser is the Vista Fun Run! It’s a
two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on September 11. Families will
then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps) at the Fun
Run, which will happen on September 20! This year our goal is to raise
$50,000 for Vista PTA programs and we need your help!
Students will also experience an amazing character theme, MINDSPARK: WILD
WEST! Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building. While they are
teaming up with the MindSpark Kids to save Dr. Shock, our students will learn
five character traits that will help strengthen themselves and our world.
So please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and
entering them on FUNRUN.COM starting September 4. Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on our students at the Vista Fun Run. Thanks so much for your support!

Vista Art Docent Program
We want to introduce our new program leaders, Diane Schlemmer and Kelly Duffy.
The artists for this year are Edvard Munch, Yayoi Kusama, Gustav Klimt, Faith Ringgold, Wayne Thiebaud, and Mary Blair. Some of these artists and their work are very familiar. This year students will again be working with watercolor, tempera, oil pastels, but this year there will be a project working with modeling clay.
The art docent program is set to start in October.
