Retirement Reception for Mrs. Spade & Mr. Bunde last Friday. Both have had a huge impact on so many students during their time at Valley Falls! 35 years for Mr. Bunde and 21 years for Mrs. Spade. These incredible educators will be missed! We know they will continue to make a positive difference in many lives. On to new adventures!
More pictures with our 35 years of service recipients. Deb Spade also received a Citizenship Education Teacher Award from the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. A well-deserved honor for her hard work and efforts over her years of teaching! Deb and Rod's families were there to help celebrate their awards too. So sweet!
