STE GENEVIEVE – Valle Catholic Grade School recognized students with VALLE Awards on October 20. 2023.

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.
