A big thank you to Paul Oliveira for presenting the history, safety, and archery exposure to Ms. Payne’s 8th grade reading class. Students finished the novel “Brian’s Winter” by Gary Paulsen, which is a story about a teenager who survives the Canadian Wilderness with a hatchet and bow and arrow set. It was great to have this opportunity at Weldon Valley.

Unfortunately Dustin Price had something come up this afternoon so we have had to move fall sports pictures to Monday

Just a reminder that Fall Sports Pictures are tomorrow. Junior High Football players need to bring their blue uniforms for pictures.

Luke Makings finished up his radiation today and got to RING THE BELL of victory! What an amazing accomplishment! We are so proud of how strong and brave our Warriors are! Congratulations to Luke and the whole Making's Family! #FightLikeAKid

Parent/Teacher Conferences are next week, Oct 11th & 13th! Please mark your calendar for Tuesday or Thursday from 5pm-8pm. We encourage all parents to take a few minutes to come and visit with their student's teachers! It has such a positive impact on your students education, as well as reminds them we are all a team working together for their success! See you next week!

Hello Warriors- Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 4th, we will begin NWEA testing for grades 7-12. Please remind your student/students to bring headphones and their fully-charged computers tomorrow. NWEA testing replaces Scantron and is a wonderful tool to give teachers, students, and parents a better understanding of where students are academically. You will be hearing more about this at Parent/Teacher conferences soon! The link for testing can be found here: https://5il.co/1iudx Have a great week Warriors! Mrs. Chisum

Good morning Weldon Valley Community! We are excited to announce the plans for our upcoming international trip. In June of 2024 we will be traveling to England and France. Our trip will include stops at the Louvre, Versailles, The Eiffel Tower, Normandy, and many more attractions of London and Paris. Our trip will be right after the 80th anniversary of D-Day and a month before the Summer Olympics in Paris. Check out the attached detailed itinerary for additional information. Everyone is invited including parents, teachers, and community members. Feel free to reach out with any questions. https://secure.passports.com/document/225ECACAACD2/

Good Afternoon, We hope that everyone is having a great week and that the students are enjoying all of the homecoming activities. I wanted to fill everyone in on a few changes that have been made this week. On Monday, we were made aware that Flagler would not have enough players available to play a football game on Friday. We have been working to find an option to be able to have a football game for our athletes and for the community. I have contacted numerous schools looking for an option that would allow the football team to have a game. Fleming has agreed to play us in a JV/Varsity game on Friday at 3:00 pm. They also play Peetz this week but were excited for the chance to bring a team and help us have a homecoming Football game. I want to thank their coach, Jon King, for helping us have a game this week. We will receive a forfeit from Flagler but still have the opportunity for the kids to have a homecoming game. The times of all events on Friday will remain as scheduled with the Community Tailgate set to begin at 1:00. Football will begin at 3:00 pm with the homecoming royalty to be crowned at halftime. JV Volleyball will begin at 5:30 and Varsity will follow. We look forward to a great day for the community and all Warriors past and present. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank You
