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/

Regional Volleyball will be played in McClave. First game will be at noon on Friday. The girls will get out of school at 11am Thursday and we will stay the night in Lamar. I will be sending out more details and a trip itinerary tomorrow. Let’s have a great week ladies!

Halloween Festivities will begin today at 2:45pm with a costume parade in the gym!

Warriors of the Month, along with PTO Fundraising awards will be handed out during an assembly tomorrow! Grades K-6 at 8am and students in grades 7-12 at 9:40.

Many of you have reached out asking how to help our Warrior Kathy Shaver who lost her husband tragically over the weekend. Due to fire and smoke damage, Kathy also lost current access to her home and belongings. Monetary donations are being accepted at the school to help Kathy during this heart-breaking time. 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.

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.
