Viking Victory Day is Wednesday, Oct. 2, 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the high school stadium. Interested families please RSVP to football head coach Justin Voss at jvoss@isd138.org by October 1. See included event flier for more details.

Pickleball Palooza is next Wednesday and we've had so much interest in the past 2 years that we created a pre-registration form. Click this link to sign up!: https://forms.gle/aqChn4g6v3i9fECd9
