Tonight's fall concert took us through a study of Jazz. If you weren't here you missed a great musical evening! #4teamvalley

The Book Fair is coming next week!!!

Mrs. Weese’s English students led a completely student-driven Socratic seminar exploring major themes from Anthem by Ayn Rand. A Socratic seminar is a structured discussion where students take ownership of their learning by asking deep questions, listening actively, and building on one another’s ideas. It helps learners think critically, speak thoughtfully, and engage respectfully in academic dialogue. It was an incredible, well-prepared, and healthy debate! Way to go, SRV students and Mrs. Weese! 👏

🎵 TONIGHT! Don’t miss the SRV Jr. High & High School Chorus Concert at 6 PM with Mrs. Amanda Rahn directing! Enjoy feel-good tunes like Spread a Little Happiness, Smile, Banana Split for My Baby, and It’s Only a Paper Moon. 🌙 Come support our amazing student singers! 🎶
