OHHHHHH, the Excitement for Holiday Break ‼️ 🎄🧑🎄
💜🚐☕ Holiday Shout-Out & THANK YOU! ☕🚐💜
A huge THANK YOU to Garber Chevrolet Saginaw from Swan Valley School District staff for the amazing holiday surprise of Tom’s Coffee Truck! What a fun (and delicious!) way to spread cheer and warm up our day!
Your generosity, thoughtfulness, and community spirit truly made our staff feel appreciated this holiday season. Smiles were shared, coffee was enjoyed, and our hearts are full!
Thank you for supporting our Vikings and making the season a little brighter—one cup of java at a time! 💜💜💜

Ali beats to the tune of her own drum.... or is it Ali marches to the beat of her own tuba? 🥁🎶😄
Ali singing loudly and off-key... “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...”. Now you are going to sing that ALL day long. 🤣🎶
Ali “The Mischievous Superintendent” Elf enjoyed making pottery and using the new kiln at the high school.

Ali, discovers that this is NOT a “Jingle Bell”!
Dr. Chelsea Houthoofd and Dr. Alison Cicinelli invite you to join their book club on January 13th! Coffee, hot Chocolate, Cookies and Conversation. Ali, the Elf thinks that is the best of the "4 C's".
Thanks to our partnership with SASWA, Swan Valley School District is sharing how thoughtful winter salt use and stormwater planning help keep our waterways worry-free all season long. https://www.saswa.org/blog1/2025/12/11/winter-salt-management-for-worry-free-waterways
💜⚔️✨ ELF UPDATE: ALI MAKES A VERY SPECIAL STOP TO VISIT VICTOR THE VIKING ✨⚔️💜
After a whirlwind week of snow shenanigans, glitter explosions, hallway joyrides, and highly questionable “candy cane dust,” Ali the Mischievous "Superintendent" Elf decided she needed a moment of pure Viking comfort.
Witnesses report she whispered things like:
“Victor… you’re my favorite Viking.”
“Thanks for always standing by me… literally.”
💜 Even the wildest elf needs a Viking who never wavers. 💜
Ali, the Mischievious Elf, suggests you nominate a Viking Victor for the month of December. Drawing will take place on Friday, Dec. 19th. Anyone can vote: Students, staff, parents and members of the community. Use this link to nominate: https://bit.ly/3MwxqnA

✨Nooo, Ali! GLITTER clean-up is NOT the same as “Candy Cane Dust”!✨
Glitter is in the carpets.
Glitter is on the lockers.
Glitter is now permanently bonded to at least three people.
Ali, the Mischievous Elf, says this is “exactly the sparkle the district needs.”
✨GLITTER. IS. EVERYWHERE. ✨

❄️ALI THE MISCHIEVOUS ELF NOW… SHOVELS? ❄️
After enforcing her highly scientific (and totally real) Viking Snow/Ice Day Rules, Ali the Elf was THRILLED to see that students across the district followed every step.
Ice cubes down toilets? ✔️Backwards pajama fashion show? ✔️
Homework done? (Mostly.) ✔️Elf snow angels everywhere? ✔️❄️
And wouldn’t you know it…
A Snow Day arrived!
Magic? Coincidence? Elf interference? We may never know.
But now that the snow has officially fallen, Ali has moved on to her next “superintendent-level” assignment… ➡️ Cleaning up the mess she definitely encouraged.
“Swan Valley Paparazzi” caught her outside with a shovel, claiming she was performing “official district snow removal duties.” Was she helping? Was she supervising herself? Was she just moving snow from one place to another for fun?
Hard to say…. VERY hard to say.
❄️ At one point she shouted to the Swan Valley Maintenance Crew, “THIS IS WHY YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK!” while twirling and tossing snow “flitfully” (Elf word). This reporter thinks it means to and fro…
Stay tuned—Ali’s winter mischief is far from over, and the sidewalks are only kind of clear...
