On Wednesday, October 13 Valley R-6 National Honor Society welcomed their new inductees into the organization. Membership in the National Honor Society is a huge honor and responsibility. The students selected for membership are expected to continue to demonstrate the qualities of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Students that are chosen must have a cumulative scholastic average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Students are then selected and evaluated by the faculty council on the basis of service, leadership and character. Congratulations to our 2021–2022 National Honor Society Inductees: Cole Kearns, Marissa Thee, Morgan Merlenbach, Brant Sanders, Aliyah Brooks, Kenley Missey, Jera McClain, Regan Laramore, Bethany Rhyneer, Carter Clark, Kalley Portell, Chloe Boyer, Alexander Bridgeman, and Bethany Bridgeman.
Valley R-VI District would like to take a second to recognize our volleyball athletes. These ladies have shown us all their dedication and hard work over the past four years of playing high school volleyball. These girls have displayed good leadership, hard work, and determination, both on and off the floor. First, we want to recognize Victoria Aldrige, she is the daughter of Craig and Bonnie Ives. Victoria has played varsity volleyball for one year at Valley R-VI High School. Next, we would like to recognize Carter Clark, she is the daughter of Julie Clark. Carter has played varsity volleyball for three years at Valley R-VI High School. We would also like to recognize our parents, thank you for your time and dedication to these student-athletes. Without you and your help, none of this could be possible. Also thank you to our High School Volleyball coaches Julie Clark and Taylor Skiles for all their hard work, time, and dedication to Valley R-VI.
Each month in conjunction with Roy's Convenience Stores, we will select one female and one male athlete for Athlete of the Month. The recipients will receive a $25 gift certificate to Roy's. For the month of September, the Athletes of the Month are Carlie Loughary and Cole Kearns.
Congratulations Carlie and Cole, and a huge thanks to Roy's for supporting our athletes.

On Wednesday, August 25, 2021, the Valley R-VI Reorganized School District welcomed back all students, both new and old faces! The halls were filled with enthusiasm and anticipation which had been building since last year in hopes of having a so-called normal school year. The excitement lasted the whole day with many smiling faces. We are absolutely thrilled to have everyone back in person and ready to learn this year!
Valley R-VI Reorganized School District hosted a bonfire welcoming back all the brilliant kids in our district! The bonfire took place at the farm and was hosted by our wonderful FFA program. They had hot dogs, chips, and water. Everyone had a fun time, including the teachers! It was a great way to welcome back the kids and have some fun before school started.
