With the cold/flu season rapidly approaching, please keep the following in mind:

-Any medication sent in for a student to take during the school day, including cough drops, requires a consent form to be completed. Sending in a signed parent note is NOT acceptable for the nurse to be able to give medications to your child.

-Prescription medications that must be given during the school day require a consent form that includes the prescribing physician’s signature as well as, the parent/guardian signature.

-Over-the-counter medications (Tylenol, cough drops, etc.) require a consent form that includes the parent/guardian signature.

Both of these consent forms can be found on the Vienna Finley website under the Parent tab. Forms are also available in the school nurses office.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school nurse.

Vienna-Finley held the annual Walk-A-Thon on Friday, October 21st. This year, the theme was a Wookie-A-Thon, which went with the Star Wars Accelerated Reader theme. Students raised funds to pay for field trips and special awards, participated in prize parties, and then celebrated during the Walk-A-Thon. The VFES PTO organized fun activities and games, the Title 1 department created the route and had exciting stations throughout the walk and the playground team had a music and dance station for the kids. VFES Watch Dogs and Heros came to help make the event spectacular and Mr. Travis Miles provided a parking lot shuttle. We had a lot of fun with all of our friends and family. Thank you to each of the countless people who made the celebration so wonderful.

With the start of a new basketball program which includes kindergarten through fifth grades, students in every school are gearing up for an exciting season. Students on the team coached by Matt Pearcy began running drills and learning the fundamentals of basketball this week along with many other teams. Games will be held at Scottsburg Middle School on Saturdays, beginning the last weekend in October.

Hudson Garten was the Grand Champion Fundraiser for our Wookie-A-Thon this year! His Scottsburg Athletics prize pack included a toy football, a Scottsburg Athletics T-Shirt, a Warriors football autographed by the 2016 Warriors football team, and an SCSD2 All-Sports Pass! Congratulations Hudson and thank you for helping us reach our fundraising goal! The money that you raised pays for our field trips and Accelerated Reader prizes. The prize pack was donated by Jamie Lowry SCSD2 Athletic Director and the Scottsburg Athletic Department.

Vienna-Finley held it's annual Wookie-A-Thon (Walk-A-Thon) fundraiser in October and students who returned all 10 forms were entered into a drawing for a bicycle. The fundraiser is vital to the school and pays for all field trips and Accelerated Reader prizes. The bikes were donated by Christy and Bobby Coomer at Total Concepts Of Design. The winner of the girl's bike was Kendra Jones and the winner of the boys bike was Jackson Taylor.

Students who raised $200 in the Walk-A-Thon were treated to an inflatable party! They had a great time!

Congratulations on being selected as a student of the month. Check out the new wall that illustrates these spectacular students!

At Vienna-Finley, and in all elementary schools in Scott County School District 2, Title 1 tutors work with students and help them in immeasurable ways. Each day the students have opportunities and experiences that are offered due to these wonderful people and their efforts. The Pictured: Lisa Elliott, a Title 1 tutor at Vienna-Finley, plays an educational game with kindergarten student, Jameson Jackson.

Who says you can't have fun ALL the time? Not us... At Vienna-Finley, our wonderful recess aides work extra hard to make recess fun and exciting, while also keeping us safe. Mrs. Amy Johnson creates playlists and has dance parties at recess periodically and we LOVE it! Thank you Mrs. Johnson!

Donuts with Dads was a huge success at Vienna-Finley. We had record numbers of friends and family turn out for the event. While at Vienna-Finley, our dads were treated to donuts and were given the opportunity to read with their student. Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed the morning with us and thank you to our Title 1 team for organizing the event.

During a recent staff meeting at Vienna-Finley elementary school, previous recipient, Lindsey Cazares, nominated Mrs. Holly Asdell for the September “This Bud’s for You” award. In her presentation to Mrs. Asdell, Mrs. Cazares stated the following in honor of Mrs. Asdell and her contributions to Vienna-Finley, " The person I am nominating for the “This Bud’s for You” award is someone who has been the biggest asset to me as an educator. I also feel she is a huge asset to our district and our school. Holly Asdell serves as a great mentor and role model

​ ​

for our students with her positive attitude and fun personality. Not only do students look forward to the monthly lessons she teaches, but they beg to go to her office because of the positive, stress-free atmosphere that she has created and that radiates off of her. I admire the patience and empathy that she has for all of our students and she is willing to go above and beyond what is expected of her as our school counselor. She takes an active role in being involved in the success of our students and our school. Days when she isn’t at VFES there is certainly a part of us that is missing. On a more personal level, Holly has been an excellent resource for ideas when I have needed help with a student or when I have had concerns on a student’s well-being or success. She is always willing to help or to provide the resources elsewhere when she can’t help. Our students, staff, and school are so lucky to have her, and I am a better educator having worked alongside her."

Congratulations to Mrs. Asdell! Pictured are Mrs. Holly Asdell and Mrs. Lindsey Cazares
