Valley View Elementary
This year is nearly over and I am happy to
announce it has been a great one for Valley View
Elementary School. The students and staff are
wrapping up testing and looking forward to some
educational field trips, outdoor school, and
other kinesthetic activities that will help
create lifelong memories. It is a great time to
be a Badger.

Fitness Challenge. |
Some of our great Badgers are highlighted this
month for the character trait of
self-discipline. It is my honor to recognize the
following students: Lyndsey Overman, Landon
Barton, Brecken Miller, Kayli Petersen, Victoria
Carmean-Helsper, Mryon Michaels, Eivind Falck,
Elliott Homik, Johnathan Phillips, Riley
Beggerly, Mika Waltering, Kassidy Durette,
Jaydin Falck, Lilly Krejci, Asher Williams,
Michael Stindt and Emma Tompkins.
Please congratulate these self-disciplined
students when you see them.
Each month Mrs. Petesch does the Family Fitness
Challenge which encourages families to be active
together. This month’s winner is Mary Moon from
Mr. Miller’s class, and she received a new
football. Congratulations Mary!
If there are any questions regarding Family
Fitness Challenge please don’t hesitate to
contact Mrs. Petesch at the school.
Valley View Elementary Kindergarten staff teamed
up with the City of Bonners Ferry and Idaho
Department of Lands to plant a tree for Arbor
Day this year. After the sidewalk project came
through this summer and the big beautiful tree
outside the kindergarten building was lost, the
teachers came together to plot a way to plant a
new tree.
A linden tree was chosen because the roots grow
down, and would be least likely to disturb the
new sidewalk. Also, linden trees are proven to
do well in this area, as they grow in the
neighborhoods around Valley View.
You might have spotted the new garden boxes
outside the kindergarten building as well. As
part of the science curriculum, students learn
about living things and life cycles and these
garden boxes will be a fun display of their work
and learning.
Soon, the Little Free Lending Library will
return to the area to allow students to read
books whenever they like. Please stop by, admire
the gardens and tree, and pick out a free book,
or leave a book for someone else to enjoy.
In the future, the teachers would like to add a
bench outside to complete the area and provide a
quiet spot for relaxing and learning.
Mrs. Stagliano received a grant this year from
Lowe’s for $5,000 to build a fence at the Early
Childhood Learning Classroom. Valley View
Elementary School extends its appreciation to
Lowe’s Home Improvement for contributing to and
enhancing the educational experience of our
students.
Thank you to the many wonderful volunteers and
visitors we have at our great school daily. You
are appreciated!
