Happy Veterans Day to all who served! I hope you have has a wonderful long weekend!
It was a been a fabulous week her at the View! Thank you to all who attended our STEAM Night this past Thursday! It was a fantastic night for all students to engage in so many fun activities, such as exploring Keva blocks, airplane making, sink or float activities, and so much more.
Also--a huge thank you to our PTA for hosting a delicious staff breakfast on Friday morning! The staff was so grateful and it is a fabulous way to kick off Quarter 2!

On behalf of myself and the PTA I would just like to say thank you to everyone who donated to the staff breakfast. Your generosity was greatly appreciated, especially by the teachers and staff who were all greatly touched by the love and support shown to them by the Belle View Community. The event was an overwhelming success and I received many thank you's from the teachers and staff and just wanted to pass those thanks on to everyone. Personally, I would like to thank everyone as well as without your kind donations of food and drinks the event would not have been possible. See you again at the
Sincerely,
Jeff Foltz
