"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." - Frederick Douglass A sincere thank you to every single member of our school community who has played a role in the literacy development of our students.

Another thank you to everyone who made yesterday's PTO event, Donuts with Grownups, a success. We were so happy to see all of our Viking grandparents and grownups! Thanks again to Elle-J Trucking and Clinton McDonald's for their donations.
