Ventana Vistas

We are looking for parents of students in Kindergarten through 4th grade with some science background to help judge our 5th Grade Science Fair.

The VV Science Fair and the SARSEF Regional Fairs are 100% virtual which is why only 5th graders are participating from Ventana Vista.

The judging will take place from February 10-12 and will be done remotely. You will have a rubric to help judge, and you will also give feedback to the projects that you look at (Feedback example: I like how you... and one thing you could work on is...). We will meet remotely one time as a group to determine the students who will move on to the SARSEF Regional Fair.

To all our Bobcat Writers- the CFSD Poetry contest is beginning! You can submit one of your best poems to the contest by February 18th. You need to type or write your poem neatly, and put your name, your grade level, and your teacher's name on the back of the paper. You will also need to fill out an entry form that needs to be signed by a parent. Your teacher has these forms or you can get one from Ms. Hawkins. Three poems will be selected from each grade level to move forward to the district competition. You can turn your poems into your classroom teacher. This is a fun way to share your amazing writing with the Ventana Vista community- so get creative and start writing today!

Each week at Ventana Vista, we have a designated Class of the Week that is tasked with making a positive difference in our school community. Last week, Ms. Henikman’s class was Class of the Week. They brainstormed ways to be kind, helpful citizens of our school community. Her class challenged us to think like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and find one way to make a helpful difference, no matter how big or small. Even a simple smile, compliment, or opening a door for someone can make a difference! They also made pictures with messages of kindness and placed them in the MPR to help inspire us to be better. Let’s think of Ms. Henikman’s class this week as we try to be peacebuilders and make a difference in our school community and beyond!

If you ever have any feedback or suggestions you want to share but aren’t sure who to share it with, you can always go to our Ventana Vista Feedback webpage. Leave comments, share ideas or give us your feedback by filling out a form. All feedback is anonymous unless you choose to include your contact information.

The Feedback Form can be found on our school website under the For Families tab, or by clicking here: Feedback Form

Please remind your child to check the lost & found for any missing items. Our pile of treasures is growing again! All items left behind will be donated during Rodeo Break.

A big thank you to all families who participated in the “stock the lounge” drive yesterday, and the Beyond Bread dine out last week. We’re waiting to hear back on how much we made from the dine out, but they’re donating 20% of ALL sales from 4pm-7pm. Thank you Beyond Bread!

We’re looking for parents who want to be a part of our FFO board next year! Let us know if you’re interested. Email Lynnea
