Winter Sports Awards

Winter Sports Awards

The Winter Sports Awards Night is Monday March 7th at 7pm in the main gym.  As with every Sports Awards, we are asking parents to sign up and bring in cookies for a post event snack.  You can drop them off at the tables in the main hallway on your way into the ceremony.

Viking Booster Club Scholarships

The Viking Booster Club is proud to announce they will be awarding between 15 and 20 scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each to the 2016 graduating senior class. The recipients will be chosen on the basis of their accomplishments in the areas of Leadership, Community Service, School Activities, and an All Around category.

We encourage ALL seniors that are planning on furthering their education at four year colleges and universities, as well as, community colleges and trade schools to apply.  This scholarship opportunity is not based upon financial need or academics.  The family only needs to be a member of the Booster Club.  Applications must be completed and returned to the collection box in the Fremd Student Services Office in a sealed envelope no later than 3:00 pm Friday, April 1, 2016.  Instructions for completing the application can be found on the Booster webpage.
