We recognized all of the Elementary students last week that participated in our Summer Passport Reading Program. All of our students that participated exceeded our goal! Adaline Bloomfield won the top prize with 1700 minutes read. And, Sandy Dobo, won for the staff with 1400 minutes read. Congratulations to all who participated!
We also had a fun time on Thursday, visiting Texas and Hawaii as our reward.

Elementary picture packets were due last Friday. If you haven't turned yours in, please do so as soon as possible. Also, picture retakes will be Tuesday, November 6.

These men and women dedicate their time and talent to make sure our students are safely transported to and from school and activities.
National School Bus Safety Week is October 22-26, 2018. This is the perfect time to contact local members of the media and encourage them to include a story on bus safety – including the importance of obeying the law regarding stopped school buses. With a nationwide shortage of bus drivers, you also may want to ask people to consider applying to become a school bus driver.
Kansas bus drivers transport more than 225,000 children to and from schools across Kansas every school day. These drivers are extremely valuable assets and are unsung heroes in communities across the state.
Mission Valley will be hosting a Blood Drive on Wednesday, October 31 from 11:30-5:00 pm.

Powerful learning. Mrs. McGann’s physics class made catapults to learn basic physics concepts and then tried them out. Just like ancient Viking days. 😄
