Greetings Vikings!
I trust you have been enjoying this wonderful weather. It’s hard to believe, but next week is our last 5-day week in February! Student have demonstrated a strong week of learning, and we are eager to continue. If your students haven’t discussed with you the mindfulness activities in advisory, it is a great topic of discussion to get the weekend going. We have linked the lessons on this week ahead, in addition to the previous post about it. We are excited to bring this opportunity to our students.
The Operating Millage Renewal is nearly 2 weeks away. 16% of what we are able to do stems from this part of our budget. Be sure to vote on February 27th!
