It's almost summer. Vista Staff have places to be and people to see - including our new 7th and 8th grade building. Can you guess our theme for today?

It's hard to be blue during Teacher Appreciation Week, but see if you can guess our Underground Spirit day? Put your guess in the comments.
Hint: It supports the "Under Construction" Theme
Shout out to .us and Vista PTO for taking care of our staff today.

Math wasn't the only challenge our students faced today. Some may have found it difficult to tell the difference between Vista staff and the .us building crew.

Can you guess the theme for our Underground Spirit day?

Today we introduced our new Carnival Coleslaw at lunch —a fresh, colorful recipe developed by talented 3rd grade Garden Club students at Vista Del Sur as part of the Blue Watermelon Project's Feeding the Future initiative! The students were tasked with creating a healthy, delicious, and affordable school menu item kids would want to eat. The recipe contained cabbage, carrots, radishes, and apples, mixed with a lemon yogurt dressing. It quickly became a hit as students realize it wasn't your traditional coleslaw and overwhelming voted that it tasty "YUMMY."
We are proud to serve up a recipe that is made by students, for students and truly reflects the next generation's commitment to healthy eating.

April is full of hypothesis, experiments, and conclusions as 4th-8th grade students investigate science projects. Their work is just the beginning of a lifetime of amazing findings.

Congratulations to our 1st place Science and Engineering Fair participants. They will go on to represent Vista at the District Fair next week. Good Luck!

Congratulations to our Art Show Winners. A huge shout out to everyone who submitted work. It takes a lot of bravery to put your artwork on display. Keep sharing your talent!

In February, the Garden club planted green onions. At the end of March, they were able to harvest them and make a delicious onion dip. It has been so much fun to watch them taste and enjoy food they grew themselves. They loved it so much, some even made it at home.
