I would like to send a very heartfelt “Thank You” to each of you who kept my granddaughter, Jenna Heaton in your thoughts and prayers during the past week. A very sudden and very serious medical situation caught Jenna and our entire family by surprise. We were not expecting to have our beautiful, 20-year-old granddaughter going into surgery this past Wednesday. Through the grace of God and many prayers we are looking forward to a healthy 2016 for Jenna!

As we near the high school orientation date for our Valley Home 8th grade students, everyone is excited but finding it hard to believe our 8th graders will soon be leaving Valley Home! I am sure each of them are looking forward to being an Oakdale High Mustang. With this in mind we send a special “hello” to a former Valley Home graduate, from the 8th grade class of 1976! Greetings from Valley Home to Terri Taylor, and a special invite to our 2016 Valley Home 8th grade graduation!
