When your child brings his or her lunch, please make sure that they are bringing nutritious food to eat. Candy and chips will not keep them from getting hungry. Please make sure they have at least 1-2 oz. of protein, whole grain bread, lots of fruits and veggies, and some kind of dairy. Some suggestions include: peanut butter sandwiches, popcorn, bread, crackers, bagels, fresh fruit in the peel, unopened single serve containers of fruit, fruit juice, pudding, nuts, cookies, or cereal bars. We offer milk every day they can buy if they bring their lunch. All you need to do is have money in their lunch accounts. Milk is 30 cents.

Some kids will see the school lunch and want to eat it instead of their lunch, or they will want a school lunch after eating their lunch they brought from home. It is a good idea to keep some money in their lunch accounts.

Make sure their lunch boxes are temperature safe. Make sure to use ice packs to keep items cold. Please, no red drinks.

During a recent staff meeting at Vienna-Finley elementary school, previous recipient, Goni Luttrell, nominated Mrs. Lindsey Cazares for the September “This Bud’s for You” award. In her presentation to Mrs. Cazares, Mrs. Luttrell stated the following in honor of Mrs. Cazares and her contributions to Vienna-Finley, "Mrs. Cazares jumped in with both feet and made the transition to fifth grade as smooth as possible for all of her students. I admire her dedication to getting her new room and materials ready for her students, as well as making sure her kindergarten students were comfortable and understood what was taking place. Lindsey goes out of her way to make learning fun, challenging, and meaningful for the students in her class. She always has a smile on her face and is such a dedicated and hard-working teacher. I'm blessed to know her and call her not only a colleague, but also a friend. Thanks for all you do for VFES!"
Congratulations to Mrs. Cazares! Pictured are: Mrs. Goni Luttrell (left) and Mrs. Lindsey Cazares (right)

We've had a blast during spirit week to promote our book fair! Each day our students have shown amazing school spirit and support by dressing up and being creative with their attire. Today was duct tape day and our students did a fantastic job creating clothing out of duct tape! Bravo boys and girls!

Our 5th grade students in Mrs. Cazares' class recently researched, created, and presented information about specific tribes. They did a wonderful job collecting, organizing, and presenting the information.

Our box tops contest has started! The theme is "Box tops are TREErrific." Each grade has a basket that will fill up with apples as they turn in their box tops. The contest will end on Friday, October 14th. The grade with the most turned in will get to wear pajamas to school for a day!
