Today was a wet day for Dragon cross country as they ran in the rain at Nemaha Central. Dakota Boyce was our only medalist. Again everyone saw much improvement in times and PR's. It was nice to run when it was not 95 degrees! Way to go Dragons.
Our gyms were full of volleyball tonight! Both our middle school and high school teams were at home, making for an exciting night of Dragon volleyball! The high school teams finished the night strong with exciting wins for both JV and Varsity! Way to go, Dragons!
September is Suicide Awareness Month. To help bring awareness, VFHS STUCO will be hosting a Suicide Awareness Night on Friday, September 25th. STUCO is asking for all students, staff, and fans to wear TEAL and PURPLE on Friday to school as well as to the football game that night.
Today's lunch was a hit with staff and students! Whole wheat rolls, fresh salad, and a great main meal had a lot of students excited to eat. Just look at the colors and organization of these healthy meals served daily. Thanks to Betty, Amelia and Heather for their work preparing breakfast and lunch each school day.

VFMS A and B Tournaments today. B Team got 3rd place in their tournament. A Team had a great time too!
The Second Grade delivered a big "Thank You" note from the elementary school to the Valley Falls Pharmacy for the school supplies donated to VF area students. Every student and teacher signed the card in Art class. Besides loving their facial expressions, we appreciate our staff who are helping them express thankfulness to others.
The gym was full of happy faces and lots of energy this morning! We also had a special presentation by our VF Auxiliary 's Chaplain & Youth Chairman, Ardith Spencer, and Kay Gibbens, President. Today is POW/MIA Recognition Day. It is the only official national day of observance dedicated entirely to honoring Americans who were prisoners of war or remain missing and unaccounted for - from all conflicts, in all theaters, and from every branch of service. Do you know that 81,000 Americans are still missing? Efforts continue to recover remains from various conflicts. We thank our veterans for their service and pay tribute to those who never returned home.
Don't forget that Valley Match Day begins tomorrow! Large to small donations make a difference and are matched, which doubles the impact your dollars can make.
