Congratulations to the October Students of the Month and the Attendance Winner!
Five students from Valliant Elementary elected to run for Kid Governor: Mykah Parsons (road safety), Hadley Dumont (bullying), Bristal Woods (bullying), Katelyn Talley (animal cruelty), and Sophie Hash (animal abuse). Each candidate was required to formulate a three-point platform outlining strategies to address their issue that would be important to fifth graders across the state. Mrs. Dansby’s 5th grade class held primary election resulting in Katelyn Talley securing the nomination to represent Valliant in the statewide race held this week. The winner will be announced next week.
