Our littlest Vikings Christmas program!


Merry Christmas from TVES!


First graders + teachers went Around the World today, and explored Diwali in India, Las Posadas in Mexico, Hanukkah in Israel, and Boxing Day in Africa. We have the most amazing parent volunteers in first grade that created a fabulous world tour for the students!
From learning + performing the danddiya raas, to playing dreidel games, making poinsettias, and creating their own boxing gifts for someone special, these students learned a ton and had a blast doing it! Not to mention all the cultural specific treats they were able to taste!
Thanks again to everyone that put this together for these students!!





8th grade girls basketball fell short at the IESA state tournament Saturday. The girls had an amazing season qualifying for the elite eight and a state tournament appearance. Well done ladies. GO VIKINGS!


Tomorrow's the last day for the coin drive! Donate your dollars to the Downs Food Pantry!


When 160+ young students sing Christmas songs together, this just has to be one of the best nights of the year! Congratulations to our Kindergarteners, 2nd graders, and Mr. Powers on a job well done!

The coin drive continues! Bring dimes tomorrow!
