Bulldog Beat 03/10/25 to 03/13/25

The Valley Bulldogs are excited and ready to start fundraising! Be on the lookout for some VIES Bulldogs who are working to raise funds for our school! Remember Bulldogs, if we reach our goal of $5,000 in sales you could win the chance to pie Principal Scott!

The John Battle Soccer Team is selling "JSB" Umbrellas, in hopes of raising money for equipment, apparel, gifts, etc., as well as assisting with materials for a new Junior Varsity coed team to play this spring. This is a pre order and umbrellas will cost $25 each. They are the large 48'' ones. Umbrellas will be delivered to you. You may purchase at the link below or at the QR attachment.
