Food Pantry Ragball Tournament was a HIT! ⚾️🎉 Huge congratulations to Mystery Machines for taking home the championship trophy! 🏆 Our runner up was Hit Happens. We also want to give a shoutout to Austin Gardner and Kelsie Hargrove for crushing it in the home run derby! ⚾️💪 Sami McCandlis was our winner for bringing in items for our food pantry! She walked away with a $50 gift card and a t-shirt. 🎁 Thanks to our amazing robotics team for keeping everyone fueled with delicious food from the concession stand. 🌭🥤 This tournament wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of our FCCLA members, Kandie Walker, and Frank Vacante. Your dedication to this event is truly appreciated. And of course, a big thank you to all the teams who participated and made this day so much fun! The backpack program has ran off of community donations since 2015. Your support has truly made a difference for the Viola Food Pantry. It was a fantastic day of ragball!

Yesterday, we had a special visit from the Viola Fire Department! Our Pre-K to 2nd graders learned valuable fire safety tips, took home fun goody bags, and even had the chance to spray water from a fire hose. As Logan Stone said, "It's always great to see them excited about safety and learning! Mr. Johnson's willingness to be a target made the experience even more memorable." Thank you, Viola Fire Department, for all that you do!
