Today, Tuesday, April 28th, we are celebrating the incredible men and women who get our students to and from school safely every single day. They are the first smiling faces our kids see in the morning and the last ones to wish them a good afternoon!
To show our gratitude, a few of our wonderful Paraprofessionals stopped by the bus garage to deliver some well-deserved treats. A huge thank you to our bus drivers for their dedication and dedication! Also- to Terri & Traci for bringing the delicious pies and making this celebration extra sweet!
Let’s show our drivers some love! Drop a comment below 👇

Check out these smiles! It’s not every day you get to share a slice with one of our local heroes! A huge thank you to Officer Paul for taking the time to hang out with the kids and for everything you do to keep Viking Middle School a safe and awesome place to learn.



We are bursting with pride to announce that our very own Angie Schmoker has been honored with the FOX 9 Top Teacher Award! 🏆
Early yesterday, the FOX 9 team surprised Angie on stage to present her with this well-deserved recognition, along with a $1,000 award from Royal Credit Union and a celebration pizza party from Papa Murphy's.
Angie’s dedication to the students at Baldwin-Woodville High School is legendary. Whether she's in the classroom or supporting our community, she leads with heart, humor, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Connecting 4... and connecting as a class! 🤝
Mrs. Hawkins’ 7th graders earned a major "brain break" this Friday after finishing up their Forward testing. There were plenty of laughs, a little bit of rivalry, and one historic moment:
Mrs. Hawkins' Connect Four winning streak has officially come to an end! 📉😂
So proud of these students for their hard work this week. You earned those smiles!

Our Viking students had a blast grabbing smoothies at Baldwin Perk, learning all about plants and flowers at Baldwin Greenhouse, and enjoying lunch at A&W! 🌱🥤🍔

Mr. Lerum’s 6th hour 7th Grade Literature class is bringing reading to life!
Students are diving into the classic Where the Red Fern Grows and using text evidence to map out the exciting “Ghost Coon” chase. 🐾🌲 From vivid descriptions to creative interpretation, they’re turning words into detailed visuals!
It’s been amazing to see their imagination and engagement. Sounds like this book is a hit! ❤️🖤
Great work, everyone! 👏📖





This month for our Spotlight on Produce, we introduced something truly unique: Romanesco! Even our staff had never seen this "alien broccoli" before, so we were all excited to give it a try.
Our student reviewer gave us the official scoop:
The Look: "It's really pretty!"
The Taste: Just like broccoli.
The Goal: She liked it raw but says she’d love it even more cooked!
We love seeing our students expand their palates one "spiral" at a time!
