Kindergarten students playing tag during PE!

It has been an exciting week at Blue Rapids Elementary. On Wednesday the student body attended a sneak peek of the high school play Wed Widing Hood at the Waterville Opera House. The students enjoyed the very professional production. I encourage everyone to attend the play this weekend and to support our local high school drama students. Parents, this Monday the 11th is the LAST day to contact the office and sign up for our annual Thanksgiving meal on Wednesday the 20th. Speaking of Monday, it is Veterans Day, we are THANKFUL for our veterans, be sure to thank a veteran for their service and sacrifice. Tonight is PLAYOFF football at the high school at 7 PM, be sure to come out and support the mighty Mustangs. Our Runner-Up State volleyball team will be recognized at halftime.

I thank you all for the privilege of working with your children! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call the office at 785-363-7693 or email me at tstaples@valleyheights.org.

This week's Waterville VHS ticket winners are Canyon, Julian, Jack, and Delilah! Great work!

Each week we'll give you a fun question to talk about around the dinner table with your family! Eating together as a family is an excellent time to strengthen relationships and check in with your child and their needs. Enjoy discussing the question of the week!

We’d like to remind families to discuss a safe route to school with your students. Whether it is on foot, bike, or a car we want everyone to arrive to and from school safely! For students on foot and bike remember that the safest crossings are at Chestnut & Highway 77 in Blue Rapids and Minnesota & Highway 77 in Waterville.

These crossings are monitored both before and after school.
