The VIKING Week Ahead 1/22 – 1/26/2024

Greetings Vikings!

Well, let’s try this again!  After a very short instructional week, I wish the warmth and safety for your previous week continues into the next week ahead.  It’s hard to believe but we are already into the fourth week of 2024! 

 With that, we also are only 38 Days away from voting on February 27th.  The Operating Millage Renewal is on the ballot to continue funding our schools.  Be informed and make your voices heard.  Interesting fact about this millage is that in addition to funding 16% of our district, this renewal will drop homeowners maximum from 6.17 to 4 mills.

A huge congratulations to National Junior Honors Society in raising $700 for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. Finally, as Winter 1 season ends, we would like to congratulate our teams on a great season: Boys Basketball, Girls Swimming, and Academic Games competed with sportsmanship and teamwork.  Academic Games took the top district honors, as district champions!  Way to go!
