SVMS Cross Country had twenty-four personal records set Tuesday night in some pretty soggy conditions at Robert’s Park. The Vikings girls and boys both took second in the Tri-Valley jamboree. Alex Schram, Gannon Sova, Owen Hare, Blake Young, and Landen Whelton made up the top five boys. Aubrey Hare, Anicela Ortega, Mackenzie Powell, Jadyn Hartley, and Emily Killingbeck made up the top five girls. All of our athletes competed at a very high level. Great work kids!
CSO students Cooper Wagner and Shiloh Charboneau attended the Fall CSO Cabinet meeting where they learned about MDOT careers and toured inside the Zillwaukee Bridge!
Please help us out and send your student to school with a face covering / mask. Numerous students are arriving without them. We appreciate your assistance.

It was an eventful night for the SVMS Volleyball teams as we started by hosting 20 of the SVMS 6th grade girls to practice Volleyball skills with the older players. We then played 6 sets against Ithaca between the 7th and 8th grade teams- taking 4 of them. After we painted faces and devoured pizza as we supported the SV Varsity girls as they beat Freeland in front of a packed house!! It was a good night to be a Viking!
