If you missed the Valley spring concert with a brief history of Rock and Roll, you missed a good one! If you joined us which song was your favorite?
Students in Mr. Harrison’s class have been building their welding skills by practicing bead lines and layering techniques.
These projects may look simple at first glance, but they take focus, patience, and precision. Each pass helps students improve control, consistency, and confidence with the equipment.
It’s great to see our students gaining real-world, career-ready skills through hands-on experiences like this! 💪
Drive In Movie Night!

This past Saturday, April 11th, several of our talented Junior High Choir members represented our school at the IESA Solo & Ensemble Contest held at Rockridge High School—and they did an outstanding job!
Our students earned five Division I ratings and one Division II rating.
Even more impressive was the way they supported one another throughout rehearsals and on the day of the event. Their encouragement, teamwork, and positive spirit truly made us proud. 💛
Please join us in congratulating these amazing singers for both their success and the way they represented our school community! 👏🎤
A big thanks to Snowman Studios Inc for refreshing our sign out by the highway. They did the initial sign and then also did the refresh due to sun damage. Thank you!

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!
