Dear Viking Families,
I know it’s early, but we are already we are now looking to book the Spring Break driver’s ed class from April 15 - 19, 2019.  I have attached the registration form. Again, the class minimum is 10.   Confirmation of the class will be once we have at least the first 10 students to register or April 1st.

If you need any help, please feel free to reach me directly any time!
Regards,
Jennifer Lucas, M. Ed

Dear VAES Families,
Don’t forget that this Monday, January 21st is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.  There will be no school for students and staff.  Martin Luther King Day is a federal holiday and commemorates the birthday of American Civil Rights leader, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and celebrates his life, achievements, and legacy.  This federal holiday was created in 1983, during the presidency of Ronald Reagan, to honor Dr. King and was first observed in 1986. Some of our teachers may use a wonderful book that we have in our Empathy Read Aloud collection entitled Martin’s Big Words:  The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by Doreen Rappaport as one of their read aloud books.

Dear VAMS Families,
Wow, what a busy week.  Our 4th and 8th graders completed Round 2 of NC Check Ins.  They had reading and math. The students worked very hard and most of the students used all of their allotted time.  Next week 5th grade will administer NC Check Ins.  The Check Ins provide teachers with information regarding individual strengths and areas needing attention, as well as, class period strengths and areas needing attention.

Hey Viking Families!
Excited for what is coming in the next few weeks! I'll try to keep it short and sweet!

First, thanks for all of those who dined out at Pomodoro! It was great to see so many families. I have met so many new families this way. The fellowship has been great! Thanks again for your participation all year!

2nd grade Spelling Bee Champs!

Our second graders in after care have been working hard, preparing for our “After School Spelling Bee!” This was a fun activity that our staff created to help the students become better spellers. After watching the movie “Akeelah and the Bee,” the students were excited and thought it would be a good idea to have a spelling bee of their own! Hats off to Ms Alexis putting this together and encouraging the students to do their best! Below, are the pictures of the spelling bee finalists, and 2nd grade after school spelling bee champion! Way to go!
