HAPPY FRIDAY, VIKES!
Boys Tennis wins STATE again, clinching the title for the second consecutive year! See pic below. If you’re interested, click the "VTV" (Viking Television) button below to watch this week’s episode. Organized by staff members Liz Ferguson, Justeen Ferguson, and Rob Canny, our LEADERSHIP KIDS have been hard at work creatively reimagining VTV with student-centered content. Check it out! We’ll be posting each week’s episode here in the Vike!
Just a reminder: there will be no school on Friday, November 1st, as all schools will be participating in a districtwide professional development day.
In case you missed it...
Here's an article with an update for STHS, published last week in South Tahoe Now, STHS Progress and Future Plans. And here is the Principal's Message, linked on the STHS website.
Proud to be a VIKE!

The volunteer tutors will be in the Mezzanine, halfway up the main stairway, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM Monday through Thursdays, except on Thanksgiving week and Veterans Day, until the week before finals. The children should bring their math to do and the math club volunteers will help them. There is no charge for this tutoring and no appointments are needed.
