awards

Kind, clever, resourceful, hard-working, patient, eagle-eyed... Clearly, there are as many ways to become O V Stars as there are Vikings at our school. There isn't a formula for this award, and students aren't over-loud or attention-seeking with their goodness. It just happens, and we appreciate the character in each of you.
