Enjoying Your Summer?

It's awfully quiet in the office, but we are busy preparing for a great school year!  Are you looking for some fun computer activities for your family?  I came across this website and wanted to pass it along to you.  48 Ultra-Cool Summer Sites for Kids and Teachers

Also, on Saturday, June 23 from 9:00-12:00, UAB is sponsoring a Young Authors Literacy Festival.  The event is free and open to everyone.  It is being held at the UAB Mini Park at University Blvd. and 14th Street.  "Free books for the children, a fashion show of Kenyan dress, music and dance, and an African Folk Tales storyteller.  The focus of the event is literacy, celebrating books and children along with the culture and literature of Kenya." 

You can never go wrong with the Hoover Public Library.  Check out these events for the Summer!Hoover Library Kid Zone Events

Healthy Careers Day

Every year, Mrs. Hines, our counselor, organizes a Career Day.  This year, the theme was Healthy Careers.  Our visitors were the Hoover Fire Department and Paramedics, personal trainer, basketball coaches at Miles College, yoga instructor, Fleet Feet, Radiologist, outdoor recreation sales, pharmacist, Earth Fare, Alabama Dance, Hoover Rec Center, sports medicine physical therapist, and a pediatric optometrist. We learned about these jobs and the training or education required to be qualified for these positions.   I expect to see some of our Green Valley students pursuing healthy careers!

Fairy Tales - Performed by Simmons Theater

Green Valley Kindergarteners, 1st and 2nd graders were treated
to a performance by Simmons Middle School.  It was an
audience participation play in which students in the audience get
to help the wolf blow down the pig's house, grow into trees to
hide Snow White and come on stage to be the dwarves!  I think
we have some future performers!

A Visit with Nancy Carlson

A representative from each grade level was chosen to eat lunch
with our visiting author.

Field Day!

The weather was perfect, the students showed great
sportsmanship, and we all had fun!  Ms. Howard and her 
crew did a wonderful job organizing such an enjoyable day.

A big thank you to Hendrick Automotive for allowing us to test drive
their vehicles to earn money for our school!



Thirsty Kindergarteners!




Riding in style!
