Viking Vibes

The Viking Spotlight is the part in my weekly newsletter used to highlight and celebrate our students and staff anytime we can! If you would like your child acknowledged for something they have accomplished, whether on campus or off-campus, please feel free to fill out this google form HERE. I look forward to celebrating our Vikings and all of the great things they are doing!

We made it through the first week of Semester 2 and I hope you enjoyed your 3-day weekend! 🤗 Today is more than just a day off from school, as it marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day and it's a great time for us to reflect on Dr. King’s powerful vision of equality, justice, and peace. His commitment to treating others with dignity and standing up for what is right continues to inspire generations. Dr. King’s message reminds us of the importance of kindness, courage, and respect for one another—values that are just as important in our school community as they are in the world.

Vikings, Dr. King’s legacy challenges you to be leaders of positive change. This can mean including someone who feels left out, standing up against unfair treatment, or working to resolve conflicts peacefully. These actions may seem small, but they make a big difference in creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Together, let’s honor Dr. King’s dream by continuing to build a school culture rooted in empathy, understanding, and the courage to make a difference. Together, I know we can achieve this!

Let's make it a great week, Vikings!! 💛
