Our 4th grade students are participating in a program called “On the Move to Stronger Bodies” with NDSU and these are their Cow Banks that will hold their Moo Money for their Moo Mart! They earn fake money by tracking healthy eating ⭐️

It's a great day to be on the river for our River Watch crew! 🛶☀️

Club Day at Crystal was all about student choice! 🎉 Students chose from LEGOs, Trust Dodgeball, Bingo, Bracelet Making, and Art, giving them a chance to explore their interests and enjoy activities that spark their creativity and excitement. We love giving our Titans opportunities to create, connect, and try something new!

Valley-Edinburg School District would like to clarify the location of our Annual School District Budget Hearing.

The hearing will take place:

📅 Tuesday, September 8
⏰ 5:30 p.m.
📍 Edinburg School Library

Please note that the county auditor’s published hearing notice incorrectly listed the location as Crystal School. This is incorrect. The correct location for the budget hearing is the Edinburg School Library.

We look forward to seeing you on September 8.

Looking to continue our Tiny Titan Cheer Program at VE Elementary! See below.

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! 📖

It's Homecoming Week next week at VE Elementary Schools! Check out next week's dress up days for your PK-6th grade student! Go Titans!

SO COOL to have our local graphic designer, Nicole Hurt of Far North Graphics, complete this huge bus project for us!! 🖤🩶🤍 We love it!!

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! 🖤

When we start school next week, please remember to avoid parking in our bus loading zones at our 3 school buildings. It is important that families park in our designated drop off/pick up zones to keep our students safe. See the attached images for zone maps. Thanks for your cooperation! 🚌
