STE. GENEVIEVE – Valle Catholic Grade School presented its second quarter VALLE Awards last week.
The VALLE Awards honor those students who consistently lived virtue and exceeded expectations in their character traits, work habits and academics during the second quarter of school. Students were nominated by their teachers in five areas that represent who we are here at Valle Catholic.
The V in VALLE is for Virtue. Virtue not only allows a person to do good things, but to give the best of him/herself. A student at Valle lives virtue when he/she is kind, compassionate, generous, and honest and when he/she demonstrates integrity, self-control and courage. These students faithfully followed in Christ’s footsteps this second quarter:
Harrison Carver, Gia Thomure, Aiden Naeger, Madalyn Skaggs, Isla Baumann, Alivia Viox, Hailey Ringwald, Rhea Meyer, Tessa Roth, Jayci Palmer, Ben Calbreath, Clayton Stewart
The A in VALLE is for Achievement. Achievement involves all content subjects at Valle Catholic. High performance reflects students exceeding our academic expectations.

The first L in VALLE is for Loyalty. Loyalty is a strong feeling of support and continuing faithfulness to someone or something.
