Valentine Community Schools

There will be an informational meeting for a trip to Australia and New Zealand in 2029 on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. in the HS Commons. Please RSVP https://bit.ly/4h0VRsl so Mrs. Stoeger can prepare materials. Valentine Voyagers can earn a travel scholarship IF we can get 60 families to RSVP and attend the meeting.

Save the date! The junior class is putting on a trunk-or-treat for their class fundraiser. If you attended last year, you know we had a lot of fun! Junior class members will be selling tickets ahead of time, but you can also purchase them at the door. Tickets are $1, and 1 ticket gets you into a booth/trunk for an activity. We plan to have close to 15 booths/trunks set up! A concession stand with snacks and drinks will also be available.

Meet Jacque Weinman, our Library Aide—and so much more! While her official title may be Library Aide, Jacque can be found all over our district, stepping in wherever she is needed and always willing to lend a helping hand.

Jacque has created an amazing space where students can come to get work done, read a good book, be creative, or simply feel welcome. She has a gift for making our library a place where students want to be.

Most importantly, Jacque is the kind of person who is always willing to help—students, staff, and anyone else who needs her. Her positive attitude, flexibility, and genuine care for others make a difference in our school every single day.

Thank you, Jacque, for your incredible commitment to our students, our school, and our community! We are so lucky to have you! ❤️🤍🦡

Regardless of where you are on school grounds, your trash needs to be picked up. There was a lot of trash left outside of the gym doors last night.

VES students practiced a Lockdown Drill this morning for the first time this year. Students were reminded of our procedures and expectations for "Locks, Lights, Out of Sight!" VCS follows Standard Response Protocol procedures in all buildings.

Juniors and Seniors attended the Mullen College Fair on Monday. Lots of great conversations were held!

Start the conversation. Talking openly about suicide reduces stigma and helps people ask for help. Here is how: samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone/how-to-talk-to-someone-about-help
