November 1st is our kick off day for the 2023 National History Day competition. Junior High students will be competing this year at the regionals at The University of Northern Colorado in April. Local projects will be due in February. The 2023 theme is Frontiers in History and Weldon Valley students will be composing papers that explore this theme. In the three years Weldon Valley has competed at regionals, we have sent eight students to the state competition. Our junior high students will be working hard on this project and we know they'll do great once again in 2023. https://www.unco.edu/history-day/

If you wish to donate, please makes checks payable to WVS. You may drop cash or checks off at the main office or send them to 911 North Ave, Weldona Co 80653. Attn Lacey.

We have jumpy houses for the kids to play in today! Come and enjoy the beautiful weather!!

Come down to WV School and see all the Vendors who are set up! See all the wonderful holiday gifts and craft items.

Kathy Shaver, one of our great Warriors, has suffered a house fire earlier this morning. Due to extensive smoke damage Kathy is unable to go back inside of her home at this time. Kathy is in need of daily essentials but mostly, clothing of all kinds. Pants size 12, shirts size L, socks, and more. There will be other opportunities to help Kathy and her family soon, but for now this is all we ask. If you are able to help, please drop your donations off at Danny & Marilyn Riddles home- 509 Main Street WELDONA, Co. Thank you for your love and support.

We have moved the start time of the volleyball games at Haxtun on Tuesday to 4:00 pm.  JV will start at 4 with Varsity to follow.  Thanks
