Today, we came together to celebrate Unity Day, a national event dedicated to promoting kindness, acceptance, and inclusion, while standing up against bullying. Students and staff wore orange to show their support for this important cause and to remind everyone that we’re united in creating a welcoming and safe environment for all. 💪💬
🧡 We saw incredible acts of kindness and support for one another today amongst our Preschool-6th grade students! We had discussions before our walk on how we can continue to work on doing the right thing when no one is watching and to stand up for kindness to all!
Valley-Edinburg Schools is thrilled to participate in the All Kids Bike program! This amazing initiative is designed to teach our youngest students the essential skill of bike riding, promoting physical activity, balance, and confidence. Our Kindergarten classes will now have access to balance bikes, helmets, and a specially designed curriculum to help them learn to ride on two wheels! 🎉 Our Kindergarten students took the streets of Hoople today on our new bikes!
We’re so excited to see our students grow in their physical and social skills through this fun and engaging program. Thank you to the All Kids Bike program for helping us bring this valuable experience to our students! 🏫🚲

Starting the day with a morning meeting is a game-changer for building community and fostering social-emotional skills in the classroom. Ms. Kennelly's 6th grade class kicks off each day with a morning meeting that focuses on relationship-building, empathy, and setting the tone for a productive, positive day of learning.
During this time, students gather in a circle to greet one another, share updates, participate in a short activity, and discuss the day's agenda. This routine provides a consistent structure for students to connect, practice active listening, and develop crucial interpersonal abilities.
Through morning meeting, Ms. Kennelly's students build empathy as they take turns sharing personal updates and respond with compassion. They also develop communication skills as they articulate their ideas and ask thoughtful questions of their peers. Morning meeting fosters a sense of belonging and community that is essential for students' social-emotional wellbeing and academic success!
The September Titan of the month is senior Hannah Myrdal. Our Titan of the Month recipient displays outstanding citizenship and character. We had 33 students nominated by staff this month, great job Titans!
To celebrate October's Farm to School Month, our 1st and 2nd grade students went on a field trip to Nilson Farms to see how potatoes go from the field, to the warehouse, and then to our tables! We then enjoyed a bag of Northland Potato Chips as a snack on the way home!
At VE Schools, we will be participating in a Crunch Off event which encourages healthy eating and supports local agriculture while celebrating Farm to School Month and highlighting the strength a community gains from farmer-school food service partnerships. More fun to come in October!
