Valley Heights Drill Team did AMAZING tonight at Bramlage!!
In reading, the 4th graders read the book "The Right Dog for the Job." Students learned about a service dog named Ira and everything a service dog needs to know. We invited KSDS Assistance Dogs from Washington to visit about their program. Students learned that KSDS provides trained guide, service, and facility dogs for people who need them or to help enhance their work. Thank you to Brooke and Konza for coming and teaching us about these services.
Going somewhere for spring break? The fourth graders would love to hear from you! This week we heard from Montana, Colorado, and Peru!
Waterville Elementary students use COURAGE as their SUPERPOWER for good, not evil.

Mustangs are trailing at half, 20-16.
Valley Heights is proud to announce that Mrs. Meadows’ 4th grade class has been crowned Kansas State Reading Champions. This championship came as a result of reading the most minutes per team over four weeks during READBOWL 2025. The World Championship of Reading, a global reading competition put on by Read With Malcolm, the Youth Literacy Initiative of NFL Super Bowl Champion and children's book author Malcolm Mitchell.
The seventh annual competition was held from January 8 (the day of the College Football Nationship Game) through this past Super Bowl Sunday. More than 280,000 students, from all 50 states and 14 countries participated in READBOWL 2025. What a huge accomplishment! Congratulations!
