The Upper School & Grammar School invite you to a time of academic training on Wednesday, September 4 from 6-8pm. For more information regarding the trainings, please see this document! 

It's hot outside, but we are so thankful for new shade umbrellas, playground trucks, and flower pots on our playgrounds. A big shout-out to the Cork family who put together play kitchens, trimmed crape myrtles, and replaced boards on our tables. Are you passionate about discipleship through play? We have a new committee for those who are, too! Contact Marci Jobson at jobsonsoccer@gmail.com if you are interested.

It was such a joy to see so many wonderful smiling faces, both new and returning, on Valor's first day of school. The hallways were again filled, and laughter and learning wafted from classrooms. It was the smoothest first day I've seen as an administrator, and I give the credit to you, our parents, in preparing your students well, and to our gifted teachers who love your students deeply. Way to go, Valor Knights!
