On Tuesday, February 13, the Valley R-VI cheerleaders hosted the mini cheerleaders. These students practiced and learned four cheers to perform during halftime of the JV game versus Bunker. All the students worked hard and gave an amazing performance! Thank you to Maggie Carr and Molly Comfort for their help with the performance.
We would like to take a few moments to recognize our senior athletes for cheerleading and basketball. We want to recognize them for their dedication and hard work over the past four years in high school sports. Each athlete has displayed leadership, hard work, and determination on and off the court. Being a student-athlete can be tough, but these young athletes have easily handled it.
