In additional to two recesses a day, our Grammar School classrooms take movement breaks throughout the day and in between subjects. On Monday, we will also welcome our new, on-site Baylor Occupational Therapy intern. Do you incorporate structured movement during your homedays? Watch this training video from Kari McKown to learn about the brain benefits, and then make a practical plan to get moving!

Thank you to all our parents who came out for academic training. The break-out sessions were a great success, and most co-teachers expressed that waiting until a few weeks into school was just what they needed to feel successful. What future sessions would you like to see more of? Do you have any feedback about Grammar School curriculum or Home Assignment Sheets? email brooke.ramsey@valorprep. We'd love to hear from you!
