VES Badgers are hard at work again this year in meeting our three school-wide expectations, be safe, be responsible, and be respectful. We will be holding a monthly assembly honoring those who have earned a badger paw or positive office referral and also to introduce the next month's focus. One name will be drawn for a special surprise. We held September's assembly on September 3rd, and pictured are all of our students who had earned a badger paw prior to that day. The name drawn was 3rd grader Alex Monroe, and on September 6, she got to have a special lunch with some of the NRSA rodeo queens who were in town. Students will also sign their name to our autograph wall in the front lobby (pictured is Javarius Reed, 5th grader, who earned two badger paws in one day). If you see a badger paw or positive office referral come home, celebrate! Good work, Badgers!
Wonder what happens when you put your receipts in the box at our grocery stores marked Valentine Community Schools? Well, it goes directly to funding new things for our schools and students. Pictured here are some of the things we were able to purchase for VES, a new TV and Apple TV to use as a message board in our lobby, a new color printer, and new equipment for our students at recess! Thanks to this wonderful community for your contributions. Make sure to participate again this year by putting your receipts in those boxes!
