 Science Olympiad is an extra-curricular activity designed to bring science to life!  Students meet once a week to work on science activities that emphasize the problem solving aspects of science and enchance the understanding of science concepts.  In addition to increasing students' interest in science and improving science test scores, this after-school activity allows students to have fun sharing their interests and knowledge about science. 

Library helpers at Viewmont volunteer their time before and after school to help reshelf books.  Through this opportunity, they learn responsibility and gain a better understanding of the way our library runs.  Fifth graders will be selected in the fall to help Mrs. Minton in the library.

Fifth grade classes take turns assigning students to the flag patrol.  Students are in charge of raising and lowering our American Flag, North Carolina Flag, and Viewmont Flag every day.  Students also learn the proper way to fold and store our flags as well as the significance of flying flags at half mast.
