Our Viking Band Fruit Fundraiser products will arrive on the afternoon of Wednesday 12/9. Because of our blended learning situation, we are going to set up a drive-thru system in the bus lane to ensure a safe, contact-free pickup. Students/customers can begin picking up their orders at 6pm. Please make all efforts to pick up fruit orders on Wednesday evening to ensure the freshest delivery!

2020 Winter Band Concert (Postponed)
The blended learning period will cause us to rethink our plans for our Winter Band Concert. Unfortunately, the idea of bringing everyone together indoors for a band concert next week is no longer possible amidst the rising COVID-19 cases in our community. My number one priority is, and has always been, the safety of our students and families and we would not want to hold an event that could be potentially dangerous.
However, this does not change the fact that our students have worked hard on our repertoire in preparation for this event and we want to find a way to celebrate that! Before making any alternate plans, let’s wait a few days and see how the rest of this week plays out. We solidify alternate plans when we have a bit more information.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Youngman. ([email protected])
Have a great week everyone!
