You will be receiving a survey from a company called LifeTrack. This is a legitimate survey and we would love for you to take the time to fill it out.
This is a service Valentine High School has used for several years and the information we gain from it is very valuable to us. It provides us with longitudinal data that we use to adjust our programs and curriculum to better prepare students for life after high school.
Thank you for your contribution!

Valentine High School students would LOVE for you to come share your knowledge, hobbies, and talents at our annual Victor E. Days, which will be held on April 19th and 20th. We want you to share your talents by hosting your own workshop for our students from 8 am to 3:30 pm. Sessions can be as short as an hour or as long as an entire day. Other options include 90 minutes, 2 hours, or 4 hours.
The list of possibilities is endless, but examples could include: taxidermy, candle making, flower arranging, crocheting, changing a tire, jerky making, leather work, scrapbooking, beekeeping, financial planning, sign language, changing oil, self-defense, or baking/cooking (to name a few).
Students will then choose which workshops they want to attend, and we would like 75+ different options. Our students really enjoy this event and we are hoping to increase workshop selections for our students this year.
Please contact Jennie Manning at (402) 376-1780 or jmanning@vcsbadger.net or Jamie Seipel, jseipel@vcsbadger.net for more information or to sign up.
