🎉 100th Day of School! 🎉
Today, our Jefferson Elementary students celebrated the 100th day of school by dressing up as if they were 100 years old. It was a fun and creative way to celebrate 100 days of learning, growth, and hard work.
We love seeing our students’ excitement and creativity as they continue to learn and grow each day!

Student Achievement 🇺🇸
VCHS students Sadie Olson and Cael Vanhal-Deitz had the incredible opportunity to attend the Spirit of America Youth Leadership Conference in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania!
They earned this all-expense-paid trip through ND AMVETS after taking first place at the state level for their essays on “What Does Flag Protection Mean to Me?”
During the conference, they met students from across the country, took part in leadership workshops, explored historic sites, and learned more about civic responsibility and our nation’s history.
We’re so proud of them for representing Valley City and North Dakota! 💙
