👏🏻❤️TEAMWORK❤️👏🏻
On Friday 5th grade did a team building exercise! They had to all stand on one side of a tarp and flip the tarp over without anyone falling off. They did it! Go 5th grade!
Just a reminder we are CLOSED tomorrow for Veterans Day! Enjoy your day off!

👀🏫PEEK INSIDE THE CLASSROOM🏫👀
Take a peek at what we've had going on this week!
Would you like to do some Spring cleaning (in the Fall), AND help a worthy cause?? Well if so, we have the solution for you. The amazing and award-winning Viper Cheer squad is hosting a Rummage Sale at VVA on Saturday, November 22nd, to help raise funds for their program. Athletics at VVA is completely funded by families and fundraising, so every little bit helps!
Sale is November 22nd, from 7 am-1 pm, in the VVA parking lot.
If you’d like to make a donation, please message Mr. Pasinski to arrange a drop off at VVA

💀🎃HALLOWEEN🎃💀
We had SO MUCH FUN at the Monster Bash partying with all of you! HUGE shout out to all our volunteers for making the night a huge success!
We wanted to remind you of some rules to make Halloween at school just as fun!
-No scary costumes, face paint, masks, toy weapons or other unsafe accessories, inflatables, or costumes that don't allow students to safely navigate their desks, classroom, and school day in general.
-Athletic-style shoes must be worn.
-Colored hair is acceptable.
-Reasonably sized wings, big wigs, tall hats, and the like are acceptable, BUT students may be asked to remove them in class or to participate in recess or PE. Same for accessories like wands and such.
NOTE: Kids play, create, and generally "be kids" when they are at school. Damage to costumes could happen, so we ask you to use caution in sending your child in expensive or "special" costumes, or the costume they plan on wearing for trick-or-treating. Thank you!

📈🧠WIN TIME🧠📈
1st grade WIN time takes some real growth mindset but these kids are ROCKSTARS!
A quick reminder that we are still doing our shoe drive for new or gently used shoes. So many have been so generous with their donations and we're in the homestretch. Collected shoes not only help support us, but they are reused and given a second life! It's a WIN-WIN!
