The Viking View
October 2018
Hello October!
Here we are in October! The weather certainly is cooler! This week we will be holding our parent teacher conferences. We look forward to seeing everyone at those. It is a great time to hear how your child is doing with their learning at school. This is a good time to find out what you can work on at home with your child too.
R.E.D. Event
Please join your child on Thursday, October 4th, for our first R.E.D. event at 2:30-2:50pm. At 2:30pm you are able to go to your child's classroom and take them to read anywhere in the school. Enjoy listening or reading to your child for those 20 minutes!
Picture Retake Day is on October 23rd at 8:30am
Successful Block Walk and Neon Dance Party!
Thank you to all our families for attending our family fun night! This event was a very successful fundraiser and we appreciate everyone's hard work at making it so successful. We were able to raise over $1900! This money will help buy items for the classrooms. All in attendance looked like they were having a wonderful evening!
PTO Meeting on October 8th at 7PM
Everyone is welcome to attend Viking's PTO meeting in the school library. Childcare will be provided for children 3 years old and up.
Boxtops for Education
We are looking to give away prizes to the top classes at the end of each trimester that could include pizza parties, ice cream treats or open gym. Last year we collected over $900 worth of boxtops and are looking to beat that and raise $1000 this year!
Please send those tops in with your child! We appreciate it! Thanks!
