Amazon Wishlist
We are excited to share the Amazon Wishlist we are hosting on behalf of the Valentine Hills Staff!. This will be an evergreen list that staff will continue to add to as their needs change and we will share it throughout the year.
Each item will have a teacher or staff member's name and urgency listed next to it. There is obviously no obligation at all but we are just excited to help support staff in any extra way we can. If you choose to order an item, we ask that you please add the staff member's name in the gift message to help get it to the correct person.

January Community Education Classes
Art Memes: Unleash your child’s inner comic! Watch them master the art of exaggeration and facial expressions in our “Cold Faces” and “Dad Expressions” lessons. They’ll also bring to life cuddly polar bears and craft hilarious stories through sequential art, like our silly shaving series. It’s a fantastic way to nurture their creativity and storytelling skills. Presented by Young Rembrandts. Jan 15-Feb 12, 4:05-5:05 p.m. Register at https://arux.link/iWzoFY
Scratch Game Coding: This program offers a crash course in coding your own games in Scratch. Students will create and develop 3-4 basic games while learning many foundational programming skills with boundless potential for creativity and expansion. Tailored for the beginner with little to no experience coding on Scratch, we will begin with the basics and have students creating their own detailed, personalized games by the end of the program. Students will come home with a mobile account containing their games to share and play with the whole family! Presented by CSGA Enrichment.

Growing indoors means you can grow healthy food without using any chemicals or bug spray. You’ll also discover how to grow food all year long. Once you know the basics, you’ll get to plant your very own microgreen and take it home to watch it grow! Presented by GoSolar! Kidz.
