Albright's 6th-8th graders made huge progress on their Ferris Wheels during our STEAM day. Thank you Mrs. Grippo and Mrs. Zoske for planning this day. This day also wouldn't be possible without the help of all the staff and parent volunteers.
Our next Viking Parent Education Series is only one week away. Join us at Albright on Wednesday, February 19th at 5:30. You will walk away with tools to help manage your child's technology and social media. Pizza will be served and childcare will be available. See you there!
Last Friday was a beautiful day for the 5th and 6th grade ski trip. A huge thanks to Mr. Lewicki and Mrs. Kasher for planning this trip, as well as the parents who helped supervise.
Thank you Officer Kitching for having lunch with us. Albright students loved spending time with you.
Salt Creek Primary students had such a fun afternoon! They enjoyed reading to the library dogs and learning about healthy dental hygiene habits from Grove Dental. Thanks to our special visitors!
Oops! It was brought to our attention that Skyward was charging $3.25 for a student lunch. However, the price for lunch is $3.40, which was communicated at the beginning of the year. Moving forward all student lunches will be charged $3.40. We are sorry for the confusion.
Salt Creek students had a special guest at lunch today. Officer Tim joined us to build relationships and answer questions. We look forward to many more lunches together. Thanks, Officer Tim!
Join us for our next Viking Parent Education Series on February 19th from 5:30-6:30. Pizza will be served and child care will be available. See the attached flyer for more details. Hope to see you there!
