Día de los muertos or the Day of the Dead
This mystical Hispanic celebration comes to life through the ofrendas and dioramas created by Ms. Jessica Fehrman's Spanish IIA class.
Inspired by their visit to the Detroit Institute of Arts in Detroit, Michigan, each display beautifully reflects the exchange of culture, art, and history.
We invite you to join us in celebrating this vibrant tradition!

VIKING ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (WEEK OF OCTOBER 13TH)...
Swan Valley Athletics is honoring 2 Viking Athletes of the Week from the week of October 13th. Congratulations to Hudson Maxa (Freshman Football) and Maddie Turner (Varsity Volleyball) for earning this prestigious award!
Here is what their nominators had to say about them fulfilling one or more of the Viking Athletic Core Values:
"Hudson leads by example. He shows up every day ready to put the work in to get better. He puts extra work in the weight room after practice nearly every day. He's never one I have to question because I know he's giving it his all. Future is bright for this young man!"
"Our senior setter, Maddie, has worked extremely hard to secure her position this season. She has grown in her skill level as well as her volleyball IQ. She does well on and off the court. She is always asking how to get better and makes adjustments."
