Kite Day 2013

Valley teachers and Administration decided to bring back a former Valley tradition with amazing success!! Kite Day 2013 was held March 8 and was greeted by temperatures in the low 70's and sunshine.  The Upper schoolers spent part of the morning putting together kites and then each were given a partner from the lower grades and sent out to play!!

It was such a great site to see the older kids interacting and leading their buddies, teaching them how to manage the kite lines and kites to see that they stayed in flight.  Watching them all run around together and working together was just an amazing experience, one that was not lost on teachers and parents alike.  This is what it means to be a part of the Valley family.  Having the older students to work with and teaching the younger ones, guiding and helping them along, is one of the truly unique things about Valley.  We really are more than a school or a community, we are a family.

Thank you to all who came to watch and join in the fun.  And a HUGE thank you to Kaye and Minka, for all of their hard work in getting the supplies, as well as all of the teachers who took time out of their educational days to bring us back to our roots and make this possible.  If it were not for you all, Valley could not be what it is.
