Pictured are some of our Badger Paw winners from the month of October. They were able to choose their prize, and Ella Eggert (2nd grade) chose to enjoy some hot cocoa with her teacher, Mrs. Coleman. Dravin Larvie (4th grade) picked to have root beer floats with a classmate, King Brown. Emma Homan (2nd grade) chose to sit in the principal's chair for a day. Way to go, students! For the month of December, we are focusing on KINDNESS - treat others as you want to be treated!

Attending Valentine Home Basketball Games: Currently we are only allowed to allow household family members into games and we have a 25% capacity restriction which means that we are allowed to have 250 people in attendance. Each player will be given a list today of who is on their current list of attendees. We are allowing 6 people for each player. They are being asked to give to their parent/guardian so they know who is on the list. If you need to make changes to the list please email Mr. Brown at gbrown@vcsbadger.net 24 hours prior to the event. It was decided at the parent's meeting last night that we are only going to allow girl's parents at the girl's games and boy's parents at the boy's games in Valentine. The way this will work is that we will open the doors 30 minutes prior to game time of the girl's game. Only girls fans on the list will be allowed in to watch the girl's games. As boy's fans arrive they will be asked to gather in the commons or auditorium whichever is available on that particular night. Once the girl's game is over girl's fans are required to leave through the gym doors on the southwest corner of the gym, please do not walk across the gym floor at this time. We will sanitize the bleachers quick and then allow the boy's fans to enter the gym for the boy's games. Valentine fans will sit on the east side of the gym and are required to wear mask over mouth and nose and social distance themselves from other households. Away game guidelines will be published as we receive them. We are going to try to update every Friday on social media for the following weeks games. Things are ever-changing so please stay tuned! We will update as quickly as we can when things change. GO BADGERS!!

Students and Parents: Valentine High School is requiring any student who owes work to come in Friday, December 18 during teacher in-service. School will start at 8:00am and they will go to their first period class to work on assignments that aren't finished. They will be dismissed once they have satisfactorily completed their homework or until 11:30am. Lunch will not be provided on this day. Any students who still owe work after Friday, December 18 will then be required to come to school on December 21 and December 22 (8:00 am to 11:55) to complete the work. There is a list of student who owe work hanging in the office window so please communicate with your students to be sure you are aware of what they owe.

Basketball Senior Parent's night will be December 8th when we play Mullen. The girls will do theirs between the JV and Varsity Girl's game and the Boys will do theirs after the boy's warm-ups. We are doing Seniors only.

Activity Changes Valentine Girls JV will only be playing 3 quarters until further notice due to our low numbers. Tuesday Dec 8 there will be no JV boys game due to Mullen's low numbers.
