Mrs. Weese’s College Speech class brought the energy with a creative film pitch project 🎬 One group (Morgyn, Greyson, Ella, and Taylor!) pitched their original film Mission: Unqualified—and wow, they thought of everything. From budget and casting to screenplay details and marketing, this felt like a real Hollywood pitch. The highlight? An incredible, original trailer that definitely would’ve secured the funding 😄 So fun to see students thinking creatively, collaborating, and presenting with confidence. Outstanding work all around!

5th graders took a break from IAR testing to become scientists for the day 🦉 They dove into owl pellet dissection and worked together to carefully uncover, analyze, and rebuild skeletal remains; just like real archaeologists and biologists. Proud of this group!

Today our students heard from Savannah Bowles, who shared her experience in graphic design and her journey after Valley. Opportunities like this help students see what’s possible and connect classroom learning to real careers. Thanks to Savannah for her presentation and to Mr Babcock for organizing this experience!
