As we wrap up February, let’s continue working together toward our goal of a Five-Peat for Most Improved Attendance. Reaching this goal truly takes all of us being here every single day and behaving in ways that support learning—meeting school expectations, showing respect to others, and staying in class to learn. After all, learning is the #1 reason we are here.
This week, we kicked off the first round of our 3-on-3 basketball tournament, our celebration for earning our Most Improved Attendance Four-Peat. The teams were incredibly competitive, and the level of teamwork and sportsmanship was amazing to see. Great job to all of our Vikings for bringing the energy and excitement!
As we come to the close of Black History Month, we continue to celebrate the many life-changing contributions of African Americans to our society. Just a few powerful examples of inventions that changed how we live include:
🚦 The modern traffic signal, which helps keep people safe on roads every day
🏠 The home security system, which improved safety for families
💡 Improvements to the light bulb filament, helping lighting last longer and work better
🚚 Refrigerated trucks, which allow food and medicine to be safely transported across the country
🔫 The Super Soaker, a fun invention that became a favorite toy for millions of children
These innovations remind us how creativity, problem-solving, and perseverance can make a lasting impact on the world.
