Viking Elementary

Kinsley Hoverson (first grade) and Marlys Moehring (kindergarten) were the top two fundraisers for this years jump rope for heart at Viking Elementary. Kinsley also earned a medal for being the top fundraiser. Both girls earned the opportunity to pie PE teacher Mrs. Peterson in the face the end of May. Good job girls!

During I Love to Read Month of February, 2nd-4th graders in Newfolden Elementary have participated in D.E.A.R. once a week. It means Drop Everything And Read! They don't know when it is, which builds up their anticipation. They all will gather in the halls and quietly read. I personally love to see the participation. Students are excited about their books and it builds a strong community in our elementary school!

Donuts with Dad will be held tomorrow (Thurs. 2/20) morning at Viking Elementary from 8:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. For space, we ask that children limit guests to 1 person (Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, etc.)This will be an open house and guests are invited to have breakfast and visit your child/grandchild's classroom. Just a reminder if you are meeting your child/grandchild off the bus at the school in the morning, the bus arrives at Viking Elementary at approximately 8:20 a.m.

Viking students have been busy reading this month! We have a school wide goal to read 1,000 books throughout the month of February. When students fill up a reading sheet, they get to color in hearts displayed on a poster in the entry hallway. We are so close to filling up the hearts! Great job to all the students!
