Last week, our Vikings faced some really cold temperatures bravely—and warmed up with hot chips (or nachos!) and cheese to celebrate our 92% attendance on Thursday! It was wonderful to see both students and staff bundled up in a rainbow of blankets, coats, and cozy layers. Thank you for showing up despite the cold and keeping our momentum strong!
As we move into the next two weeks before break, let’s stay focused and continue making every day count. This week, we begin our NWEA testing, and it is very important for all students to be present. We are always aiming to grow two or more percentile points each time we test. Students who meet this goal will earn 15 House Points per test, meaning thousands of points are up for grabs across ❤️ Amistad, 💙 Reveur, 🖤 Altruismo, and 💚 Isibindi. Show what you know and help your House shine!
We will also begin our door decorations this week as we prepare for our annual Grinch Games. Mr. Rayner has been in close contact with the Grinch himself—who is, unsurprisingly, quite grumpy about all the cheerful commotion—but we plan to persevere anyway! Who will earn the Gold, Silver, and Bronze recognition for their door decorations? Get ready for creativity, teamwork, and a little holiday mischief.
Let’s stay warm, stay focused, and finish these next two weeks strong, Vikings!
