What an awesome first week at VHS. We truly have amazing kids and staff. Thanks for a great start to the 2019-20 school year!
It was a great turnout today to hear Dr. Tom Osborne speak in Valentine today about the TeamMates Mentoring Program! Thank you Peppermill for hosting the event. If you are interested in learning more about the program or becoming a mentor go to teammates.org or contact JJ Thorpe at VMS.
FBLA Fundraiser - Tuesday 8/27/19. Help us launch FBLA!
Just a reminder that at VES, our breakfast serving time is from 7:40-8:00. The first bell is at 8:10, and class starts at 8:15. If your child is eating breakfast, it is best to drop them off prior to 8:00 so they can have enough time to sit down and eat all of their breakfast!
The Valentine TeamMates Mentoring Program Chapter is doing a raffle fundraiser. They will be raffling 2 Nebraska Cornhusker vs. Indiana football tickets (October 26, 2019). The drawing date will be on September 27, 2019 at the VHS Home football game. You do not need to be present to win. Tickets are $5.00 per ticket or $20.00 for 5 tickets. Please see JJ Thorpe at VMS if you are interested!
First day of school for students Thursday! The first bell rings at 7:55. We are excited for students to return for the new school year!
Valentine Elementary Upcoming Events
This a reminder that we need a copy of any student's physical that will be participating in sports by Monday or they will not be allowed to practice. If you got your physical at Cherry Co. Clinic you will need to bring a copy in as they gave the students their copy to turn in. Please check with your coach to see if you have a copy on file.
We will be doing concussion testing for all Freshmen and Juniors that will be participating in athletics on Tuesday August 13th @ 1:30 in the commons area. Please bring your chrome book which will be checked out on Monday.
Mark you calendars! Tom Osborne will be coming to Valentine on Friday, August 23 to speak about the TeamMates Mentoring Program at the Peppermill Restaurant from 12:00-1:00pm. Bring a friend!
