Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! There's not enough that can be said or done to truly let our teachers know how much we appreciate them, but let's start with some kind messages!
We encourage you to reach out to your teachers, your kids' teachers, past and present and let them know the difference they have made in your life. Or just some encouraging words to boost their day! Emails, cards, letters or even leaving a comment here are all great ways to tell our teachers THANK YOU!
Another great group of 1st-6th graders showed up today at Maquoketa Valley for a very cold youth track meet.

The April Student-Athlete of the Month is described by coaches as, “the epitome of the student-athlete whose actions speak louder than any words ever could.” The coach goes on to say, “there is not a day that goes by, whether in practice, in a meet, in the classroom, hallways…or at any school event, that this person cannot be found displaying countless characteristics of the ultimate student-athlete. Their commitment to the team is evident in that they have not missed a single practice this season. This student-athlete is extremely humble, never gives less than 100% effort, never questions the role they need to play, and can be trusted to deliver in every circumstance. As the person presenting this award, and the Principal of the building, I will add that this student-athlete is as consistent in their approach as any student I have worked with. The April Student-Athlete of the Month is Kaitlyn Wiley.
Thank you again to Brown’s Family of Car Dealership for supporting our student-of-the-month program. These programs allow us to recognize one Student-Athlete and one Fine Arts student for individual character and habits that lead to success.
