Mrs. Juergens will become a human sundae if we hit our READ-A-THON goal
Are you ready to watch me become a Juergens Sundae?!
I am so excited to share that we are close to hitting our Read-A-Thon goal!! Our students are super readers and I know we can do this! I’m excited and very nervous to become a human sundae but always up for some fun!
Students have selected an ingredient to pour on top of me, will receive an Otter Pop today to take home, and below is the link for the Juergens Sundae Zoom.
- Students, please put the Otter Pop in your freezer when you get home and save it for Monday!
Vista Grande, we need you to keep participating in the Read-A-Thon! If we can pass our goal by Sunday night, we will live stream our Juergens Sundae event for students and families on Monday, 3/8 from 8:30-9:00 am! Students will log into the Juergens Sundae Zoom link at 8:30 am, enjoy their Otter Pop, and invite family members to watch the fun as the Vista Grande staff turn me into a Human Sundae!!!

Crosswalk on Diablo Rd.
Please note when driving out of our parking lot, if you are turning RIGHT, our crossing guard has asked that you wait until he is fully out of the crosswalk before turning. There are times where he is still walking students through and is worried that a parent may accidentally injure a student who is getting through the crosswalk.
