I would like to address all students about the proper shoes to be worn to school. I have been noticing a lot of students with soccer slides or similar sandal type shoes. P. 42 of the handbook under student dress states: Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times. Heelys or any shoe with the built-in wheels, flip-flops, or soccer slides are prohibited. Reminder: Tennis shoes must be worn for physical education classes.

If you see a problem in your community, take action by writing letters to important officials or ask you parents to attend a town meeting. Get involved to make your community the best and safest place to live.

A true friend is someone who makes us happy simply by being in his or her presence. If you have a friend who has a problem, just your being there will be a help. Sometimes we worry too much about not knowing the right thing to say when someone is hurting. Just be there to listen.

Good Morning Belle Valley Today is Tuesday, September 3. I hope you all had a great 3 day weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
The best gift we can give others is our good example. When someone mentions a role model, you may think about a parent, teacher, or other adult. But each one of us is a role model for others every day. Try to be a good one. Make a great day!

Good Morning Belle Valley, Today is Friday- FriYay, August 30.
We would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Mrs. Barb, Mr. Kyle, Mr. Neal and Mr. Dave for organizing, picking up and delivering water for us to have yesterday due to the water boil order. We are allowed to drink from the fountains today so the bags have been removed from them. Be sure to extend a thank you to these amazing people when you see them today!
When we do something wrong, we are often quick to think of excuses or quick to blame someone else. “It’s not my fault!” is not something a responsible person says.
