100 Days Smarter!
Did you know that Tuesday, February 20th was the 100th day of school? Valley Park’s staff and students certainly did! Kindergarten celebrated by dressing “fancy” for the occasion, while 1st grade students dressed as if they were 100 years old! Even some of our teachers got in the spirit! Well done everyone… and summer break will be here before we know it!

Winter Math and Literacy Night
On Tuesday, January 30th, kindergarten and first grade students were invited to a winter wonderland of literacy and math. Students and parents engaged in winter themed activities that reinforced sight words, word building, math fact fluency, and number concepts. At the end of the night students took home the activities, as well as a goodie bag of new activities to continue the fun. Thank you to all the families that attended and we look forward to holding more nights in the future!
