Big congratulations to Mrs. Widen, Mrs. Madden & Ms. Gornbein whose classrooms had the highest percentage of PTA members at the end of our 30-day membership contest! Wow, are we on a great path to memberships this year! Thank you, parents, teachers, friends and family for your support. We are happy to report over 200 memberships this year (about 25% of the school!). Remember you can STILL join at any time! Make sure to visit us at our next GA meeting on November 30th at 9am for more updates!

Make sure to check out the Hispanic Heritage display at the VV library while it lasts!

The Vista Verde PTA Reflections team would like to thank all students who submitted an entry to this year’s PTA Reflections Art program! Every year, students are challenged to submit artwork with a particular theme in mind. This year’s theme is: I WILL CHANGE THE WORLD BY…We’d like to send a special thank you to VV students and Reflections participants, Bella, Jay, and Aanya, who encouraged students to give it a try!  Next up, submissions will be judged anonymously by professional experts in each category. All first-place winners will then move on to the Irvine Council, and we will celebrate all Vikings who participated with a virtual gallery and a special awards ceremony. Vista Verde winners will be announced by the end of this month and Irvine Council winners by early December.

Good luck Vikings!
