We are focusing on putting for our best effort as staff and students as we gear up for state testing and the end of the year. We had a record number of badger paws come through the office, and pictured are some of our students who earned one last week. Good work, Badgers!
We had some good ole fashioned fun on April Fools Day today at VES, but we like to have fun on other days besides April 1. Pictured are kindergartners completing a tough connect the dots (magnifying glasses needed) per student request, continued 5th grade "salutations" fun, reading buddies, and a Badger head for hat day.
On Thursday, March 28, the VES 5th Grade class treated the school and then later parents and the community to a fantastic musical. There was incredible singing, dancing, and overall performing; they captivated the crowd! A special shoutout to Mrs. McQuistan for all of her hard work and inspiration! Thanks to all other staff involved in helping put on this special performance.
ACT TESTING FOR JUNIORS TOMORROW, April 2.
Juniors are required to be at school by 7:30am tomorrow. Please encourage your student to get plenty of sleep tonight. They will be fed breakfast at school as well as a snack at break. Testing will be finished between 1-1:30.
Wow! What a generous community we have. Our students and staff raised $3,809 last week for flood relief. All donations will go to the NRCSA-NCSA Disaster Relief Fund, which will benefit schools that were affected by the tragic flooding in NE. Way to go, Badgers!
VHS Chemistry Students
Miss Epke‘s chemistry students performed chemical demonstrations for the rural students at their science day.
Rural School Science Day
The Rural Schools met at the Valentine Middle School gym to present their science fair projects in the morning and in the afternoon Edgerton Explorit Center was here to conduct demonstrations on space flight and set up a planetarium for students.
DID YOU KNOW?
69 Valentine High School students are enrolled in 405 college credit hours...for free! Thanks to the teachers who make this possible as well as Mid-Plains Community College for their support.
It was a great day for our seniors at UNK Adulting workshop. Students were able to learn many life skills that included self-defense, buying a home, budgeting, doing laundry, mental health and what to expect their first year in college.
This is a reminder that if you're a parent, guardian, grandparent, friend, etc. of a 5th grade student, tonight is their music concert. It's at 7 pm and located in the auditorium at the HS! They've worked really hard preparing for this; we hope to see you there!
ADULTING 101/102
Seniors just arrived at UNK for the Adulting workshop today. Here are the sessions they will get to choose from. It should be a great experience for them.
Congrats to Mataya Eklund who was selected 3rd Team All Conference by the SWC Coaches.
The boys golf team will be traveling to Stapleton on Thursday for a tournament. They will start teeing off at 10 am.
Valentine Children and Families Committee has created a survey for all residents of Cherry County. Our committee has received some grant money for our community to identify the services and supports that are available to children of all ages now and to help increase the quality and quantity of their availability. Please help us by taking a few minutes to fill out the survey. After filling out the survey, you will be entered in a drawing to win a (1 of 20) $50 gift certificate. You can find the link here or at KVSH.com.
