Good evening Viking families!

This is Mr. Foster with this week’s high school announcements.

Taher food service will provide a Thanksgiving Day meal for all students on Wednesday during lunch!

Congratulations to sophomore diver Ava Martin on qualifying for the state championship meet! Ava finished 13th at last Thursday’s regional meet and will compete at states on Friday at the Holland Aquatic Center! Great job Ava!

We are in full swing for Vikings Give! We believe in the importance of giving back and supporting those in need, especially during the holiday season. It allows us to connect with our community and make a positive impact on the lives of others. We are grateful for the chance to make a difference and show our appreciation for all that the community does for us throughout the year. We are partnering with the Interfaith Shelter and accepting non-perishable foods, peanut butter, gloves or socks. If you would like to donate, items can be dropped off at the Welcome Center. This is a Viking Pride event and students who donate will be entered into a gift card raffle.

Tuesday is the last day of tutoring for this trimester. Tutoring is after school from 2:30-4:00pm.

As the trimester comes to a close, exams will take place in each hour on November 21 & 22 from 7:25-10:45am.

Our doors will open at 7:10am beginning on November 25th. Please plan accordingly.

Vikings Madness is happening Friday! This will be an exciting introduction to our middle school and high school basketball teams at 6:30pm! Come out and meet the teams and the cheerleaders! The student section theme is rep your class! Wear class gear or make your own shirt to rep your class! This is a Viking Pride event! There will be a sign in sheet at the admissions table. There will be a dj, concessions, the Viking Store pop up, scrimmages, a dunk contest, a three point shooting contest and giveaways! We look forward to seeing everyone there.

During the school day, coats and all bags including backpacks and totes are to be left in lockers.

Cell phones and headphones are to be kept off and away while students are in class. Please remind your young person of these very important JHS policies.

Our high school community closet is a place where students can donate and receive essential items such as food, clothing, school supplies, and toiletries. It is meant to help students who may not have access to these items or may be experiencing financial difficulties. This initiative promotes a sense of community and support among students. It is open each week during lunches to all high school students.
