Halloween
We will be having a Halloween celebration in the afternoon on Thursday, October 31.  Students are allowed to wear costumes in the afternoon that day.  Please no masks, weapons, or blood/ gore.

Pack in Pack Out Lunch
Starting this year, we have been attempting to reduce our SVS ecological footprint by moving towards a “Pack In and Pack Out” philosophy. Once a student has eaten their lunch or snack, the packaging of that item will be put back into lunch kits and returned home for recycling/ composting. In continuing to support this positive change, please provide a locking baggie for items such as apple cores, yogurt tubes etc. The baggie will be returned home with the student each day for composting at home and then should be added back into the lunch kit for the next day. Help us make a difference!
