A big THANK YOU to the Evenson family for the generous donation of fresh sweet corn for our school lunch today! 🌽 It was sure tasty!
Our kindergarten friends were hard at work during reading today! 📚
Students are using Reading Mastery, a structured reading program that provides explicit, step-by-step instruction to help build strong foundational reading skills. Through lots of practice and repetition, students work on letter sounds, blending sounds together, recognizing words, building vocabulary, and developing reading fluency and comprehension.
These kindergarten readers are already learning that becoming a strong reader takes practice, focus, and lots of trying! We are proud of their hard work! ⭐

A huge thank you to an anonymous donor for their recent donation to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Valley-Edinburg Schools program! The Imagination Library provides free, high-quality books each month to children from birth to age five, helping families build home libraries and encouraging a love of reading from an early age.
We are so grateful for community members who support early literacy and help put books into the hands of our youngest learners. Thank you for making a difference! 📖

Our elementary kids had the best afternoon at our Back to School Swimming Party at the Hoople Pool!
A power transformer has fallen from a power pole behind Hoople Grocery this afternoon. Hoople Fire Department is asking that people stay away from this alley and do not walk between houses on this block until Ottertail has been able to clean up the area. Students have been provided this information. Thank you for your cooperation!
Here are the last home games we have available for fundraising groups to host concessions! 🍿🥤🍿Please share with other groups who may also be interested! https://forms.gle/NXCmh2pBVjMwaqSTA
Our students had an absolute blast at recess today! A HUGE thank you to our VE School Board members and community volunteers who generously gave their time to install the exciting new upgrades at our Crystal School Playground! 👏
The new Glider Swing and P6Ball game were an instant hit—and judging by the smiles, our Titans are loving them! 🖤

The 2026-2027 school bus registration seemed to miss some families this spring, so we are going to send it out again. Let us know if your student is riding the bus this year! Please complete the linked registration to provide the name(s) of your student(s), your physical address, and when they plan to ride. If your student ONLY rides the shuttle, you do not need to complete this form. This is only for rural routes. Thanks!
Our bus drivers are meeting next Wednesday, August 12, to review bus routes. Your student's bus driver will be contacting each family after this meeting to finalize pick up and drop off times for the school year. If you did not complete the bus survey this spring, please email Kierstin.hurtt@valley-edinburgk12.com with your student's transportation needs. Thanks!
We still have a number of games this year that need concessions! Please talk to your fundraising organizations and consider taking a date - there is still one available night left this fall, and a number of available dates starting at the beginning of January! THANK YOU! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdRZ4ncOHLzBodG3AeJSAd33_d4zM77gQ5JNzDxH4APSSCzig/viewform?usp=dialog
