    Is that George Washington in carbonite?! You bet it is! Congratulations to our 1st-place winners of this year’s Fort Days Parade Float Contest! We’re so proud of our students who conjured a super-creative theme this year and executed it whimsically and beautifully. The “Preserving Ligonier’s History” float reminds us that the past is always present. Bravo, Valley School! May the FORT be with you!

  • VALLEY SCHOOL COMMUNITY SERVICE

    We’ve been back in school just over a month, and already Valley School has participated in numerous community service initiatives. Our service projects are shaped and driven by our students’ and faculty’s compassion, hard work, and devotion to making a positive difference in the world. Whether we’re cleaning a local volunteer firehall, doing yardwork for elderly neighbors, taking up a collection to support victims of Hurricane Dorian, volunteering at the Cannonball Dash, crafting bracelets for Miracles From Maggie, or collecting funds to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, we have a good time every time we give back.

It’s not a dream! In our fast-paced world, it feels impossible to take the time to teach our kids these important lessons, but Dr. Gilboa’s lecture will include strategies you can use to maximize the time you already spend with your family to get the best behavior from your children.

  • Spring Musical : Peter Pan Jr.

    Final bows have been taken; costumes have been laundered; the spotlight is dimmed; the stage has been swept; and the curtain’s come down on this year’s Spring Musical. But for all who attended, the song, dance, and storytelling won’t be soon forgotten. 
     
    Peter Pan Jr. was performed last Friday and Saturday to a packed house on each day. Rave reviews praised the costumes, set design, music, choreography, and student performances. Anyone who is familiar with this wonderful annual tradition will attest that Peter Pan Jr. was one of the most outstanding productions in the history of Valley School’s musical program.
     
    We congratulate the faculty, staff, and students on their hard work and remarkable accomplishment, and we thank all who supported Valley School by attending!
