Calling for Volunteers – Viking Voices (Middle School)

Viking Voices Middle School is looking for volunteers. We are looking for parent volunteers to co-facilitate AEFA’s public speaking group. VIKING VOICES (formerly known as Toastmasters) is a middle school group (grades 6,7,8) that practices public speaking and interpersonal communication skills in a fun, focused and supportive environment. Meetings are run by students to practice leadership skills and mentored by parent volunteers. Students build confidence by delivering prepared speeches and practicing impromptu speaking. Meetings are alternating Wednesdays from 1:30-2:30 pm in Mrs. Jacobs’ classroom, #18. Please email VikingVoices678@gmail.com for more information.

Blessings in a Backpack

Dear Fabulous Vista Verde Community!

Due to the remarkable generosity of our Vista Verde Community, last year’s “Blessings in a Backpack” community service project was such a huge success that we are going to do it again. We will begin August 15th. I am always amazed at how thoughtful and compassionate Vista Verde families are. Thank you for all that you do to make Vista Verde the remarkable school that it is!!!

No School – Nov 12 – Monday

Veteran’s Day is November 11, Sunday honoring military veterans. Our school district sets November 12, Monday, as a school holiday to observe the Veteran’s Day. Enjoy the long weekend.

Veterans Day

Dear Fabulous Vista Verde Community!

Our school would love to send letters to Veterans in honor of Veterans Day. Some classes will be writing letters during the instructional day, however it would be wonderful to write one at home as well. For the salutation please have students use “Dear Hero” . It would be great to have them finished and turned into room 1 by November 6th to allow time for mailing them.

Thank you!!!
