💜🖤🩵Celebrating a Heart of Gold! 🩵🖤💜

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Guzman, who was nominated for and received the Heart of Gold Award! 🏆✨

Typically, Heart of Gold nominations are read over the loudspeaker so our students can join in the celebration. Today, however, Mrs. Guzman had the special opportunity to be celebrated by her colleagues as our principal shared the heartfelt words behind her nomination. 💕

We are not only incredibly proud of Mrs. Guzman, but also encouraged by the example she sets each day. Her kindness, dedication, and genuine heart shine brightly—and that light is contagious to everyone around her.

Congratulations, Mrs. Guzman! Thank you for showing our Viking family what it truly means to have a Heart of Gold. 💜⚓️✨
