Swing by The Badger Den booth at Winterfest on Saturday and help your family gear up for Christmas. FBLA will be at the fairgrounds from 9am - 4pm on Saturday and we have TONS of new product!
Attending Valentine Home Basketball Games:
Currently we are only allowed to allow household family members into games and we have a 25% capacity restriction which means that we are allowed to have 250 people in attendance.
Each player will be given a list today of who is on their current list of attendees. We are allowing 6 people for each player. They are being asked to give to their parent/guardian so they know who is on the list. If you need to make changes to the list please email Mr. Brown at gbrown@vcsbadger.net 24 hours prior to the event.
It was decided at the parent's meeting last night that we are only going to allow girl's parents at the girl's games and boy's parents at the boy's games in Valentine. The way this will work is that we will open the doors 30 minutes prior to game time of the girl's game. Only girls fans on the list will be allowed in to watch the girl's games. As boy's fans arrive they will be asked to gather in the commons or auditorium whichever is available on that particular night. Once the girl's game is over girl's fans are required to leave through the gym doors on the southwest corner of the gym, please do not walk across the gym floor at this time. We will sanitize the bleachers quick and then allow the boy's fans to enter the gym for the boy's games. Valentine fans will sit on the east side of the gym and are required to wear mask over mouth and nose and social distance themselves from other households.
Away game guidelines will be published as we receive them. We are going to try to update every Friday on social media for the following weeks games.
Things are ever-changing so please stay tuned! We will update as quickly as we can when things change.
GO BADGERS!!

On December 2nd at 6 pm we are going to have a parent meeting to discuss attendance at home basketball games. We understand the importance to be here to support your children and we have came up with a strategy to maximize those numbers. We ask that at least 1 parent of each student playing high school basketball be there. With your cooperation we can maximize the amount of family we have at games. Please also understand that attendance rules can change at anytime to coincide with the Governor's restrictions.
