Dear Valor Parents,
It was wonderful to welcome so many of you to St. Matthew's for our Parent U Curricular Training Day. Whether it was in-depth training in the Institute of Excellence in Writing method, extra helps for teaching Spalding or Shurley Grammar, or hearing Valor's vision for our new Math curriculum, we are privileged to share this journey of education for discipleship with you. Our Grammar School teachers and admin leaders love partnering you, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions about the implementation of our life-giving curriculum. I'm praying for you as you navigate the ups and downs of homedays. May you experience fresh encouragement and power from our Lord while you walk with Him and trust Him for the coming fruit in your child's life.
With joy,
Brooke Ramsey
Head of Grammar School
Valor Preparatory Academy
From frogs on the playground to learning about and illustrating Nutrient Cycles in 5th Grade, nature is a favorite part of the day! How are nature studies going at home? Send us some of your homeday nature photos! (gsadmin@valorprep.com)
Our second graders were out of the town this Wednesday, getting a behind-the-scenes tour of some important places! Student traveled with their chaperones and teachers to H-E-B, Central National Bank, the Fire Station, Post Office, and Special Operations at the Sherrif's Department! Wow! Be sure to ask your 2nd grader what they liked best!
