It was back to school this past week for our Valley Home school students. Looking for a bright spot, the students were excited to learn they would have a vacation day on January 9th and also on January 19th! January 9th was a staff development day and January 19th is Martin Luther King Jr. day. On January 21st there will be a teacher collaboration meeting at 3:00pm. Friday January 23rd is the first basketball game of the season! Teams will travel to Paradise school to play. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come out and support our Valley Home school!
The end of this month will be an exciting time for our Valley Home 8th graders. On January 30th the 8th graders will have high school orientation. Also on January 30th there will be an instrument petting zoo for 3rd thru 5th grade students!

Speaking of happy, Kathy Bryhni had a very exciting trip home to Oklahoma to visit her parents and family. While there Kathy visited three different states and was thrilled to visit Graceland! Kathy is a huge Elvis fan and had the time of her life at the home of Elvis Presley! She said seeing his pink Cadillac and then visiting his grave site on the property were both very special to her. Her trip was actually a treat for many of us here in Valley Home as we got to see all of her Elvis pictures!

Please keep in mind the 4-H Box Social is to be held on February 3rd at 7:00pm at the school gym. The 4-Hers would greatly appreciate your support!
