Please be sure that all animals are on leashes or in proper pet cages or containers to insure a safe blessing.

Are you looking for some Random Acts of Kindness for your children. Here are some ideas they can do all on their own to show more kindness in the world around them. Click here, print it out and put it on the fridge and encourage your children to do a few acts of kindness a week.

Photo Day at SMV is October 9. We start first thing in the morning and we are finished usually by 9:30am. The photo envelope will be sent home with each child by Friday of this week. Please fill it out and return them back to the teacher.
Hot Lunch Reminder
Remember to place your hot lunch order for the month of November.
Note to SMV Bike Riders
Parents please remind your children to exercise caution when they ride their bikes down the paths that let out onto the parking lot and to be aware that cars are both entering and exiting at the same time? We have seen many occasions where the child goes down the side hill and cuts right in front of the cars entering. Also drivers are unable to see bikes on the path coming into the parking lot as they are exiting. There has been frequent occasions where kids shoot right into the exit lane. According to the handbook, bike riders should should walk their bikes in the parking lot. Drivers need to slow down in a school parking lot.
Once again we are offering afterschool Spanish for grades K5 thru 5th beginning October 7. Click
here for more details.

SMV owes Mrs. Jennifer Zils a HUGE thank you! Mrs. Zils and her team, Annie Bolger, Erin Lampe, Michelle Akel, and Akel Akel hosted another amazing Dance-A-Thon this past week. This fundraiser was a wonderful success and would not have been possible without the many, many hours they put into planning this event. Most importantly, the kids had a blast! The money raised will go towards the various school upgrades and items that Home and School supports. Thank you Mrs. Zils and team for your dedication to our school.
