We are so thankful for the time, energy, and heart these three pour into our school. Viper is a better place because of each of them, and we sure are blessed to have all three! 🐝💚

Thank you, Kayla, Kathy, and Heather, for all you do for our Hornet family! 🖤🤍💚

💚🖤 Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day! 🖤💚

Today we celebrate four of the most important people in our school—our amazing custodians! 🧹🐝

So much of what they do happens behind the scenes. They’re here early, stay late, clean up the messes no one else sees, fix problems, lend a hand wherever needed, and help make Viper a clean, safe, and welcoming place for our students and staff every single day.

We are incredibly thankful for Matt, Josh, Gracie, and Davy and ALL they do for Viper Elementary. Please know that your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we appreciate you more than you know! 💚

One of our guys slipped out early today before we could catch him with his gift and get a picture—but don’t worry, we’ll get him Monday! 😊📸

Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day to the very best! We’d truly be a MESS without you! 🧹🪣🐝💚🖤

Vibrant Learning happening in Science in Kindergarten!

All week, Kindergarten has been learning what it takes to be a scientist! Our little scientists have been exploring the Scientific Method and learning how scientists ask questions, make predictions, conduct experiments, observe what happens, record their results, and draw conclusions.

We aren’t just talking about science—we are DOING science! Through hands-on experiments, teamwork, questioning, and problem-solving, students are learning to think like real scientists while building curiosity and confidence.

These experiences are also helping us develop our Portrait of a Learner skills as students communicate their ideas, collaborate with classmates, think critically, and learn from their discoveries.

Small Groups, BIG Impact!

Kindergarten LOVES our Learning Studios! These small-group experiences give students the opportunity to learn through hands-on activities, collaboration, problem-solving, and meaningful practice.

Learning Studios are a perfect example of Vibrant Learning in action! Students aren’t just sitting and listening—they are exploring, creating, communicating, thinking, and learning together.

Through each studio, we are also building the skills found in our Portrait of a Learner by helping our little Hornets become confident communicators, collaborators, critical thinkers, and problem-solvers.

Big learning can happen in small groups!
