Viking Newsletter
January 29, 2023
Hello Viking Families,
Also, please be sure that your child (children) are wearing warm clothes to school in the mornings. It is highly suggested that you write your child's name or initials inside of their jacket, sweatshirt, or hoodie. Our lost and found is quickly growing as many articles of outer clothing have been "found" on the playground.
Wishing you all a great week.
Ms. Weinman
