Some great work going on in Ms. Hollis' 8th Grade Honors English course. Frederick Douglass' credits his reading of "The Columbian Orator" to changing the course of his life. A powerful lesson was learned by Frederick Douglass in the reading of this collection of essays “The moral which I gained from the dialogue was the power of truth over the conscience of even a slaveholder.” Reading and Education can open all of our minds to worlds and ideas we didn't know existed Attached are some great pieces of artwork hanging in our halls representing the profound impact a single piece of literature had on one of America's greats. Keep up the great work and keep reading!!

Late Buses next week Next Tuesday-Friday (14th-17th) the Elementary Schools are on early dismissal schedule for parent/teacher conferences. Because of this, the High School/Middle School buses that also have a Valley Park bus route are going to be late for the PM route home. The buses that will be affected are 5, 9, 16, 23, & 33. Buses could be as much as 25 minutes late. This is because of Valley Park's Early Dismissal time (1:40 pm) and the length of the Valley Park PM bus routes. We will do everything we can to minimize how late these buses will arrive to take HS/MS students home.
