February 13th – 17th
Midvalley will be holding its first-ever Kindness Chain Challenge!  Our Jr Huskies and the Midvalley Staff will be working to LINK the school and community together by performing acts of kindness that will be added to our KINDNESS CHAIN, which will be hung throughout the halls of the school. We hope to make this chain reach far and wide across our school building, representing the connection we have as a community.

All Pro Dads
Kindness is the Theme for the MONTH! Come on in with your Jr. Huskies aka Valentine, and have a special light breakfast and a short discussion with them and other dads about how to teach our kids to be kind.  See you February 14th @ 7:45 in the GYM

Midvalley Book Exchange
We are preparing for our second annual Midvalley Book Exchange! In conjunction with Read Across America Day and with the help of The United Way, we will be providing the opportunity for each Jr Husky to choose a new book, as well as the chance to exchange any previously loved books. As you start to tidy up for Spring, save those books that your students may have outgrown! We will begin collecting gently used books the last week of February!  Book Exchange will be held during lunch on March 2nd!
