Happy Valentine's Day from our class to you! 🎉 Thursday was all about friendship and fun. We had the best time passing out valentines, admiring everyone's amazing Valentine's boxes, snacking together, sipping soda, and making friendship bracelets. Nothing better than celebrating with these kind and happy kinders! 💌🧁

These students did a great job on their presentations today! The 3rd graders loved having help from the 4-6 grade students, and the big kids really enjoyed working with the younger students. It was a great project!

💜💛 Celebrating Our Winter Sports Seniors – Class of 2026 💛💜

We proudly recognize an incredible group of young leaders who have poured their hearts into Verona winter athletics. Our 2026 Seniors in boys basketball, girls basketball, and cheerleading have left a lasting mark on our programs, our school, and our community.

These seniors have shown what true leadership looks like. They lead not only with their voices, but with their actions. Early morning practices, late-night games, tough losses, big victories — through it all, they have remained committed, focused, and determined. Their dedication to improving their skills and supporting their teammates reflects a work ethic that will serve them well far beyond the court and the sidelines.

Our basketball seniors have demonstrated grit, teamwork, and composure under pressure. They understand that success comes from preparation, trust, and believing in one another.

Our cheer seniors have brought energy, spirit, and pride to every game. They uplift our teams, engage our fans, and represent our school with enthusiasm and heart.

Most importantly, each of these students serves as a positive example for our younger Wildcats. They show what it means to balance academics, athletics, and character. They remind us that leadership is about encouragement, accountability, and stepping up when it matters most. They are outstanding role models for our future athletes.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the parents and families of these seniors. Your countless miles driven, late nights, unwavering encouragement, and steady support have made all the difference. Behind every dedicated athlete is a family who sacrifices time and energy to make these opportunities possible. We are deeply grateful for the partnership and commitment you show to our students and our school.

To our Winter Sports Seniors — thank you. Thank you for your commitment, your resilience, and your love for Verona. You have set the standard high, and we could not be more proud of the legacy you leave behind.

Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat. 🐾💜💛

This week in Kindergarten has been so much fun! In STEM club, students designed creative ways to keep their noses warm. Each morning during meeting, we do a class building activity where students cheer each other on and strengthen our classroom community (this is an everyday routine, not just this week!). We also celebrated our positive behavior with a slumber-themed Sonic movie watching party!

Wildcats, a fire alarm has gone off in the high school building, there is no evidence of a fire. However, fire trucks are in route to check out the building. Students have been evacuated for their own safety. Staff are working to get the students their personal belongs so we can send them home. The busses could be delayed a little while we work to get all students loaded. Thank you for your patience while we sort through this.
