We Are A Community Igniting the Joy of Learning and Inspiring Leaders.

Our playground will reopen next week for students to resume play and have their first opportunity to play on the new equipment. Please see the pictures below! A huge thank you to our students, our PTO, and our families for supporting our Boosterthon fundraiser and making these new pieces a reality.

Dear Viking Families - You received an email from Forsyth County Schools in early December about our School Climate Survey. Below is that message. It is tremendously valuable for us to have a large participation in order for us to truly capture your voice and perspective. This survey is something we look at and helps us plan effectively. Below is the QR and Link to that survey if you missed the email. We appreciate your time and feedback!

Our PLT (Parent Lighthouse Team) serves to build the bridge between school and home to bring the 8 Habits to families. Through collaboration, education, and leaeership they aim to build a strong community of confident, joyful learners and compassionate leaders. They have been instrumental in helping us partner with other Leader In Me schools who need warm clothes putting our lost & found items to good use. They are currenlty leading the efforts to create a VCE Habit Garden in the front of our school. You may notice some new rocks and a large pallet of stones - all part of the bigger plan to beautify our space with the 8 Habits and the framework we embody to create and sustain a community igniting the joy of learning and inspiring leaders.  If you would like to volunteer your time or resources to help this initiative, please reach out to Ashley Johnson at aejohnson@forsyth.k12.ga.us for more information. Stay Tuned!
