Viking Field Trip

Students in Ms. Smith's and Ms. Sarmiento's Financial Algebra classes went on a special trip to the Junior Achievement Financial Park, nestled just outside of Griffith Park. Students participated in a reality-based decision-making simulation addressing aspects of individual and family budgeting, including housing, transportation, food, utilities, healthcare, philanthropy, and banking. While completing the simulation at JA Finance Park, students worked in small groups with volunteers from the financial sector who offered guidance and advice throughout the day. See picture below.

Have an amazing week, Vikings! Together, we thrive!

This week's staff spotlight is our principal's secretary, Mrs. Alanah Randles. Mrs. Randles has been a Viking for the past 4 years. She ensures all the department and custodial supplies, conferences, payroll, and field trips are secured. She enjoys the daily interactions with staff and students. She enjoys her busy days making sure everyone has what they need.

While Mrs.Randles is busy at work, she is even busier at home because she is a mom of 5 kids. She enjoys all the chaos and laughs along the way. You can often hear her tell a funny story about something one of her kids did. Never a dull moment.

Thank you, Mrs. Randles for your Grit and Gold.
