Congratulations to our SPVA BB All Conference Selections! BBB - Isaac Cronin and Dominic Beebout (1st Team), and Trystan Beebout (Honorable Mention). GBB - Paige Sprenger (1st Team), Devahney Belville (2nd Team), and Aiden Hand (Honorable Mention).
🏀🔥 March Madness has started! 🔥🏀
Valentine Middle School staff and students traditionally take every March very seriously!
Along with staff furiously filling out brackets for some friendly competition and Mr. Sayer rolling out the TV during lunch periods so students can watch the games, there is a lot of fun being had! Including a "Teacher Madness" bracket put on by the Student Council and a Badger Pause correct percentage contest (each Badger Pause filled out a bracket) organized by Mr. Coleman.
We can feel the excitement in the air as some teachers are learning A LOT about NCAA Basketball from students!
We'll keep you posted and may the best bracket win!
Two weeks out...Are you ready for some doughnuts? On Thursday, April 2nd, FBLA is hosting our spring Krispy Kreme fundraiser right in time for Easter. Get some delicious treats for your family and support the 19 FBLA students headed to state this April.
