Bodacious Ball

WOW! If you haven't watched a volleyball match lately ~ you need to check out the Brandon Valley Lady Lynx!!! Brandon Valley dominated the volleyball action with Mitchell. BV lost the first game 23 - 25, but took the next three games with scores of 25 - 18, 25 - 16, 27 - 25 to win the match. The energy on the court was contagious! This old volleyball coach and parent got swept up in the excitement and had to return to my office to blog about it. Way to go players and coaches! Congratulations on a truly exciting WIN!

"Hats Off" to the Brandon Valley student body! I'm impressed! They stood the entire match, cheered with gusto, and rallied right along with the volleyball team. I must say . . . I'm proud to be a Brandon Valley Lynx!

3rd grade boys in the Fire Safety House

These 3rd grade boys experienced the "smoke-filled" bedroom. I am confident they know their escape plan should they ever need it!

Fire Safety House visits 3rd grade

Third grade students had a visit from the Sioux Falls Fire Department today. Along with a video, students experienced first-hand how to get out of a "smoke-filled" bedroom and also how to call 911 and relate important information. "THANKS" Sioux Falls firemen for helping with this important experience!

Bookmobile is a Hit!
