8th Grade/Senior Night

On Thursday, April 25, Valley R-VI recognized its 8th grade and senior athletes for junior high baseball, track and field, cross country, ESports, and Scholar Bowl. We want to recognize these students for their dedication and hard work in junior high and high school sports. Each athlete has displayed leadership, hard work, and determination in and out of their sport. Being a student athlete can be tough, but these students have easily handled it.
