Focus on the Fabulous
We had a fabulous Homecoming week with lots of opportunities to show our Viking Pride. Students and staff dressed up throughout the week, with a different theme for each day. We had a great parade on Thursday afternoon and a fun pep assembly. The soccer and volleyball teams had exciting games. Friday night ended with another win for the football team and an awesome fireworks show!
Rewind
Monday morning I participated in the NWEA Skills Pointer training. This new component of NWEA will help us to target instruction based on student needs. I reviewed lesson plans and did a number of walkthroughs throughout the week. Tuesday evening I attended the District Accountability Committee and Board meetings. Our middle school volleyball team played in Creede and both teams got their first wins for the season. Our football team started their season hosting Del Norte. It was a solid first game of the season and the boys, under the leadership of Mr. Vigil, show a lot of promise. Tuesday evening I attended the monthly Accountability and Board meetings. Wednesday started early with our Building Leadership Team meeting. It was a productive meeting and we made preparations for our upcoming PLC. Wednesday evening we had our Open House. Family members had the chance to meet teachers and visit classrooms. Thursday our middle school football team traveled to Alamosa and our volleyball team hosted Antonito. I was able to get into quite a few classrooms during the week. Friday I helped with supervision of the evening’s Homecoming competitions.
