USD 338 Board Members Leading for Success!
January is School Board Recognition Month, a great opportunity to say thank you to the USD 338 Valley Falls Board of Education who are committed to the success of every student in our community.
Our board of education includes (from L to R) Jesse Nickelson, Donny Smith, Aaron Sprang, Caleb Clark, Kimberly Kirkham, Georgia Hollis, Jesica Clark.
These seven community leaders volunteer hundreds of hours attending meetings, reading reports and discussing plans and programs to support educational achievement.
USD 338 encourages the entire community to thank a school board member, not only this month but throughout the entire year.

We have some changes in the PK-8 office that became official last night at the Board meeting. Wendy Gibbens has left us to pursue another career. We wish her the best of luck! Becky Nickelson has taken over in the Office. Becky is a graduate of USD 338 and has worked in the district full time for the past five years as a teacher aide subbing for the district since 2008 prior to that. Becky and her husband Jesse have four children that attend USD 338 schools.
