👀🏫PEEK INSIDE THE CLASSROOM🏫👀 6th grade presented their mummy projects yesterday and today! This is such a highlight of the year to see how creative these kids get! Great job 6th grade!

👀🏫PEEK INSIDE THE CLASSROOM🏫👀 2nd grade real life connections: A few of our early arrivals this morning helped put out a rain bucket - our story in ELA last week was talking about water conservation and one of the suggestions was to put out a rain barrel when it rains and use that collected water to water your plants. We are going to use this water for our pumpkin patch! Go 2nd grade! A reminder that cheer is having their rummage sale this weekend! They have collected so many goodies! Come check it out from 7am-1pm Saturday in the parking lot! #personalizededucation #gilbert #elementaryschool #letsgovipers #vva #viperstrong #valvistaacademyk8 #parentschoolchoice #kindergarten #middleschool #charterschool #waterconservation #2ndgrade #rummagesale

💀🎃HALLOWEEN🎃💀 We had SO MUCH FUN at the Monster Bash partying with all of you! HUGE shout out to all our volunteers for making the night a huge success! We wanted to remind you of some rules to make Halloween at school just as fun! -No scary costumes, face paint, masks, toy weapons or other unsafe accessories, inflatables, or costumes that don't allow students to safely navigate their desks, classroom, and school day in general. -Athletic-style shoes must be worn. -Colored hair is acceptable. -Reasonably sized wings, big wigs, tall hats, and the like are acceptable, BUT students may be asked to remove them in class or to participate in recess or PE. Same for accessories like wands and such. NOTE: Kids play, create, and generally "be kids" when they are at school. Damage to costumes could happen, so we ask you to use caution in sending your child in expensive or "special" costumes, or the costume they plan on wearing for trick-or-treating. Thank you! #personalizededucation #gilbert #elementaryschool #letsgovipers #vva #viperstrong #valvistaacademyk8 #parentschoolchoice #kindergarten #middleschool #charterschool #halloween
