Working in groups, students researched companies and organizations engaged in social ventures. They examined the problem each venture was trying to solve, what made its approach innovative, who would benefit, evidence of its impact, and potential ethical concerns or unintended consequences.

Groups then presented their findings and made the case for investment, putting a limited amount of funding behind the ventures they believed could create meaningful change.

A great example of the IB approach in action: ๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐š๐›๐จ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ, and considering how individual choices can contribute to change within larger systems.

An emerging art project is taking shape through Mr. Kropwnickiโ€™s IB HL Art class.

Part of the IB Art HL Artist Project, โ€œGiving Voice to Valley,โ€ the piece will continue to change as more students contribute their individual voices to a collective expression of our school community.

Our ReachTV initiative, launched last year, continues to grow as another important way we communicate with and engage our students.

Screens strategically located throughout Valley provide a constantly updated look at what is happening across our school, from college visits and field trips to clubs, activities, academic opportunities, community service, athletics, and more.

Celebrating some of our outstanding students at Valley!

Each month, our academic departments recognize students who have distinguished themselves through their effort, engagement, growth, achievement, and contributions in the classroom. Students are nominated by their teachers, discussed as a department, and ultimately selected to represent their respective academic areas.

Congratulations to this monthโ€™s Department Award recipients! It is always great to recognize students for the many different ways they contribute and excel at Valley.

Congratulations to Julian on being named a Commended Student in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program!

Julian earned this national recognition based on his outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT, placing him among approximately 34,000 Commended Students nationwide.

A great morning at John Winthrop Middle School!

Three of our Valley students joined Mrs. Milardo, our Counseling Coordinator, to share the many opportunities and experiences that await students at Valley Regional High School.

Our eighth graders brought plenty of curiosity and excitement, asking some great questions about academics, activities, athletics, and life at Valley. Of course, a little Valley spirit wear tossed into the crowd for some of those great questions added to the energy!

A fun way for our students to share what makes Valley special and help our future Warriors get excited about the high school experience ahead.

Belong. Believe. Become. Everyone, Every Day.

Congratulations to Mathilde, our September Student of the Month!

Mathilde has brought a positive attitude, kindness, and enthusiasm to the Valley community. She has embraced new experiences, joined a sport, made new connections, and shared her Danish culture and perspective with others.

Mathilde comes to us from Odense, Denmark, the same community our IB students had the opportunity to visit during their study abroad experience last year. It is wonderful to continue that connection by welcoming Mathilde to Valley this year.

We are so happy to have Mathilde as part of our Valley community. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!

Mrs. Ehrhardtโ€™s Junior IB Business students putting key concepts and ideas together, literally! Students worked collaboratively to match concepts on each triangle and build a completed puzzle, reinforcing their understanding of different types of business entities.

A great example of IB learning in action, developing ATL thinking, communication, and social skills, while demonstrating the IB Learner Profile attributes of being Thinkers, Communicators, and Inquirers.

Thinking, connecting, collaborating, and learning.
