π Message from the Principal π
The time has finally come...we have made it to the last week of school in the year 2024!! Our 8th graders, you are now just one semester away from completing middle school and beginning a new chapter in high school! This is an exciting milestone, but itβs also a reminder of the importance of staying focused and committed to passing all your classes. The choices you make now will set the tone for your future success, so letβs finish this semester strong by giving your best effort on final exams and projects.
Iβve seen tremendous growth in so many of you over the past few months. Your maturity, resilience, and ability to handle challenges have been inspiring. As we head into the second semester, I encourage each of you to continue demonstrating good decision-making and strong leadership. Whether it's helping a classmate, showing kindness, or taking responsibility for your learning, these actions make our Viking community stronger and set a positive example for others.
As we prepare for the holiday break, I wish everyone a season filled with joy, health, and time to relax with loved ones. Use this time to rest and rejuvenate so that you can return ready to tackle semester 2 with enthusiasm and determination. Iβm proud of all that youβve accomplished so far, and I canβt wait to see what we will achieve together in the new year. Happy holidays and Happy New Year, Vikings!
Let's make it a great week, Vikings!! π
