We had so much to celebrate at last night’s Board of Education meeting! From recognizing our Athletes of the Month, Charley Perkins and Owen Caskey, to honoring our VIP Students of VPHS, Connor Buechel and Brady Roderman, the evening was filled with pride. We also celebrated a true hero among us, Bill Been, one of our incredible SSD paras, who saved a student from choking and provided care afterward. Moments like these remind us how special our Valley Park community truly is. #VPPride #OneCommunity

We’re so grateful to our Parents as Teachers program for hosting such a wonderful event this morning! The turnout was fantastic, and it was such a joy seeing so many of our families come together. We hope everyone enjoyed connecting with one another (and the sweet treats to help beat the heat!). A special thank-you to the community members who gave their time to support our families and programs. Your generosity and encouragement make all the difference. We truly couldn’t do this without you. #OneCommunity #VPPride #ParentsAsTeachers

⏰ It may feel like just 10 minutes, but those little moments add up in a big way! 10 minutes late each day = nearly 1,700 minutes of learning lost. That’s almost 19 classes or a full week of school gone. Every moment in the classroom matters and every minute of learning makes a difference. At Valley Park School District, our goal is for 90% of our students to be present 90% of the time. Together, we can help our students succeed! 💙🧡#EveryMomentCounts #VPPride #LimitlessLearning

Today, the Valley Park School District came together to honor and remember the events of 9/11. Students and staff gathered at the flagpole for a solemn ceremony. Mr. Turner and Mr. Neal, both veterans, were recognized for their service, with Mr. Neal sharing a moving reflection on the day that changed our nation forever. The choir performed the National Anthem, followed by the playing of Taps by Kennedy King. The ceremony offered a powerful moment of reflection and unity, reminding us of the importance of remembrance, resilience and the strength of community. #VPPride #NeverForget

Today on Patriots Day, VPSD pauses to remember the lives lost on 9/11/01, and honor the courage of first responders and everyday heroes. Together, we reflect on the importance of unity, kindness and resilience for our students, families and community. 💙🧡 #VPPride
