Early literacy begins with us. When grownups take time to read with children, we show them that stories matter. Thank you to Ms. Katonia Williams and Ms. Jennifer Hay for modeling the joy of reading.
And our Wildcats took it even further—turning their reading corner into a monster reading cave! Every page turned builds their love for stories and learning.

Mrs. Carrillo shared this special moment about her student Ron:
"Ron, my second grade student, came to school this morning and asked if he could read a book to his classmates. The book's title is Love, by Matt de la Peña. He said he wanted to read it to everyone so we could learn about love and how to love each other. He is the true definition of a kind student. He is a leader in setting an example of love, respect, and kindness in the classroom!"

The Valdosta City Schools Foundation Board of Directors held its October meeting at Pinevale Elementary School, where members had the opportunity to award a Foundation grant to Dr. Danielle Croft, kindergarten teacher and leader of the Tinikling Team and Junior Fire Marshals Club.
Dr. Croft’s grant will provide new tinikling poles and team shirts for students involved in the clubs, helping them build leadership, teamwork, and confidence through creative movement and community service. Both programs align with the district’s Leader in Me initiative, inspiring students to lead by example and grow with purpose.
The Foundation extends sincere appreciation to Pinevale Elementary School for hosting this month’s meeting and for fostering such strong student engagement and leadership development across the campus.

Valdosta City Schools bus route 5008, serving after-school programs for Valdosta High School, was involved in a collision on Dunwoody Drive this afternoon, Wednesday, October 8. The bus, which was stopped, was struck by another vehicle. At the time of the accident, seven students and the driver were on board.
All students and the driver were evaluated for injuries. One student was transported by EMS to South Georgia Medical Center for further evaluation. However, no injuries were life-threatening. Four students have already been released to their parents, and the final two families have been notified and are en route to pick up their students.
Safety is, and will always be, the foundation of all that we do in Valdosta City Schools. We are deeply grateful for the swift and professional response of local first responders.
