VIKING ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (WEEK OF AUGUST 25TH)...
Swan Valley Athletics is honoring its first middle school Viking Athlete of the Week for the 2025-2026 school year! Congratulations to Kennedy Felsing (7th Grade Girls Basketball) for earning this prestigious award!
Here is what Kennedy's coach had to say about her fulfilling one or more of the Viking Athletic Core Values:
"Kennedy has shown great leadership on the basketball court by encouraging her teammates through positive reinforcement. When mistakes are made, she responds with support and motivation, helping others stay confident and focused. Her uplifting attitude sets the tone for the team and strengthens their teamwork."
Viking Pride!


The halls were buzzing with energy, our students brought the excitement, and our staff went above and beyond to make the first day one to remember.💜 🤍
Here’s to a year full of learning, growing, and making memories together — if today was any sign, it’s going to be an AWESOME year at SVMS! 🚀📚✨
