Joe, Sidni, Amiya, Rylan, and Laci will represent Valor at the regional mathcounts competition this Friday. They were selected as the top students in the Middle School from a qualifying exam. They will compete as a team and also an individual in four different math categories. If they win they will head to the state games in April. GO VALOR NATION!

Business Night Round #2

Last Thursday, the mission groups presented their missions a second time. All of the students did their best. The presentations, their elevator speeches, and team posters were well done. Despite no businesses attending, the students pushed forward and some donations were made. Mrs. Taylor was proud of all of them! Some of the ways our presenters thought would help reel in more businesses would be to be less laid-back while calling, sending emails, contacting smaller companies, and better memorizing their presentations. According to Malachi from the Philippines group, it's important that even though no businesses came, there is always room to improve.
