VIKING ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 29th)...
Swan Valley Athletics is honoring another Viking Athlete of the Week from the week of September 29th! Congratulations to Alexis Unger (Middle School Girls XC) for earning this prestigious award!
Here is what Coach Perkins had to say about Alexis fulfilling one or more of the Viking Athletic Core Values:
"Alexis is an outstanding athlete that gives it 100% at every practice and meet. She has been one of our top runners each meet. She is a leader who will often slow her pace at practice to run with and encourage our younger athletes. She is involved in numerous other extra curricular activities and balancing the load while maintaining an A average in school."
Viking Pride!

It was an electric atmosphere at Freeland Monday night ! The 7th SV battled so tough but eventually fell to the Falcons, 30-22. Valicia Ramirez, Milly Garcia, and Gabby Katz executed the Triangle and 2 defense with supreme aggressiveness and set the tone for the night. Ava Howe handled the pressure great all night against Freeland. Katz, Kennedy Felsing and Ally Stockford let the way offensively ! The Vikings are back in action Wednesday at Bridgeport.
The 8th grade girls lost to Freeland 40-45. Our girls came back in the last couple minutes to put pressure on the Falcons. Top performers for the night were Ryelle Thompson and McKenna Miller. Those Falcons are going down next year

The 8th grade girls defeated Garber 63-6. The girls played great defense. They dominated the boards and racked up a ton of steals. On top of that, EVERY GIRL SCORED A BUCKET…even in the opponents hoop. 😜
Big shout out to Addy Ball, Ryelle Thompson, and Maggie Kennelly.

Our 6th grade scientists had a sweet time today! They used gumdrops and toothpicks to build models of a sodium chloride crystal (that’s table salt!) to see how atoms line up. 🧂🔬✨
The Vikings dominated John Glenn from the tip off, winning 42-6. Harper Quellet led the way with 12 points and 6 boards while Arinna Mantalvanos provided great inside defense. The Vikings will be back in action on Monday at home against Garber!

Our Esports Mario Kart teams would like to thank Jolt Credit Union for the $500 donation! We purchased gaming monitors the students used in our first match Wednesday night!
The A team won their match and the B team raced hard but fell short on the scoreboard.
🐾 Today, Swan Valley Middle School had a paw-some visitor! Riggs, a therapy dog in training, stopped by to bring smiles, comfort, and lots of tail wags. 🐶💙 Students loved spending time with him, and Riggs is well on his way to becoming an amazing therapy dog.
We can’t wait for him to come back and share more joy with our school community! Big thanks to Mrs. Whelton🦴✨
Great effort from both teams. Their hard work is amazing. The Girls team had 9 finish in the top 25. Kudos to Ainsley Ball for crushing a personal record by shaving off 2 minutes. Boys had 6 top 25 finishes. Shout out to Logan Mersdorf for shaving off quite a bit of time to set his personal record. Other PR's : Unger, Johnston, Whelton, Vannortwick, Oldham, Ittner, Klepsch, Hoffman, Hernandez, and Light !
