🦉 Valiant’s final back-to-school riddle until next year’s countdown 💚💛

Tomorrow’s the day- the school bells will ring,🔔
And I’m excited to see what this new year will bring! 🏫
Before I have the chance to see the students and teachers who make up the Valley School crew, 👩‍🎓🧑‍🏫
And before the weather heats up, I’ve found a shady, cool spot with a special view! 🏞️💦

I’m hiding on the bank where a clear, freshwater stream flows,
Where trout swim by and wild things grow.
Through our campus Linn Run quietly winds,
With crayfish and other aquatic creatures of every kind.

Where am I hiding as summer comes to an end? Follow the stream, and you’ll find your owl friend!

SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW!

ONLY 2 DAYS left until the first day of school! The excitement is really started to build for Tuesday. 😁

Here’s Valiant’s riddle for today:
🍂 I’m not in a book, and I’m not in a tree.
🚘 I’m somewhere important for all to see!
😀With two familiar smiling faces posing nearby,
🟨 I’m standing where drivers should take extra care as they pass by.

🪧 A brand-new sign has something to say:
🦉 Slow down and watch for children along the way!

⚠️Whether you’re coming or going, please take it slow— Check out two members of our school’s Safety Committee (the amazing Officer Gerlach & Nurse K!) posing with the new School Zone sign on Linn Run Road. Please remember to watch your speed as you’re arriving at the school entrance, driving on our grounds, and leaving campus to keep our community safe. 🦉💛💚

📗 And there’s always another story to know.
