Locker room clean out at VHS. All these items have been picked up and unclaimed from our locker rooms. Please claim what is yours before they go to the clothing drive.
The middle school boys' basketball games to be played in O'Neill Tuesday have been postponed.
SWC Consolation Basketball Games:
Girls at 5:30 and boys at 7:00 vs Gothenburg. All consolation games are played in Gothenburg.
A reminder: Tuesday, January 29, students at Valentine Elementary will not have school. This is just for the students at VES. The teachers have an opportunity to attend a one day training, so school is canceled for that day.
With cold weather, please make sure your student comes to school wearing a heavy coat, hat, and gloves/mittens. At VES, we go outside for recess as long as it's above zero (factoring in wind chill). We want your student to be dressed for Nebraska winter weather!
VES focus for the week: be respectful, include others. Way to go, Badgers!
The valentine speech meet for tomorrow has been delayed 1 hour so speech students will now be leaving at 6:00 am from the high school.
Nathan Flannery, Senior, Basketball
Nate tied a school record with 21 Rebounds in a game against Hemingford. For a player who is only 6'0 tall that's very impressive. He does a lot of work before the ball hits the rim to put himself in position to get the rebound.
- Levi Loofe, Business Teacher, Head Boys Basketball Coach
Due to weather forecast VES, VMS, and VHS will start at 10:00 a.m. Friday January 18
Update on upcoming events the next 2 days. Tomorrow the wrestling team will leave for Chadron at 7:00 a.m. If the roads are in poor condition or the bus driver doesn't feel the roads are safe they will turn around and come back. Basketball - We have been in contact with Broken Bow and will reschedule the basketball games to Saturday starting at 1 pm if they are unable to travel Friday. The speech team will do the same as the wrestling team on Saturday morning.
