Hello All, my name is Caley Brenner and I am a bachelor level Social Work student through Washburn University. I have been interning with Valley Heights to provide social/emotional support for the Valley Heights School District. Part of my internship includes community outreach, therefore I have developed a survey to gather feedback on yours or your child's experience while at Valley Heights. Your feedback is appreciated and confidential to myself and my field instructor Tina Stillwell, LSCSW.

Sophomores visited Highland Western Center in Baileyville yesterday to learn about educational opportunities and career options. John Haefke even drew blood from the practice arm!
