According to their website, See You at the Pole™, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Decades later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September. It is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event.
Anyone who would like to come and participate in this event with our students are welcome to do so.
See you at the pole!
Additionally, ALL competitors MUST be registered by 2:30 PM on the day of the event.
Attention Elementary Longhorns!
We are encouraging our Little Longhorns and their parents to get involved in basketball. Here is a great opportunity happening this fall that we are encouraging.
This league is made up of teams from our area that each player has to be from the same school district. The games are expected to start in November. We believe it would be great to be able to enter a team from Viola in each division.
If you are interested in helping out or possibly sponsoring a team, get in touch with Coach Gardner. These forms will be sent home with your Little Longhorn from school. Please return them to the elementary office by October 3rd.
Let us know if you have any questions. Looking forward to the future of Longhorn basketball!
Go Longhorns!

In doubles action, Abby Hutson and Justice Steward rallied after dropping the first set to secure a 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 victory over Kylie Magie and Tatum Paladino.

It was a great day on the Golf Course for the Longhorns!
The Longhorn Golf team had a fantastic showing on September 9, competing against six other schools and over 50 golfers in total.
The boys team finished just one stroke shy of first place, earning a strong 2nd place overall.
Beau Cowgill tied for the top individual score of the day.
Mattix Rowden and Rhett Robbins were close behind, with all three finishing in the top 8 out of nearly 40 golfers!
Avery Rogers led the way on the girls side, claiming 1st place individually with the top score of the day!
We’re incredibly proud of all our golfers and the progress they continue to make each match. We'll be back on the course this Thursday at Turkey Mountain!
