Valley View Intermediate School

My kids goes to this school for 4 years now. They likes school. I do, too. They have wonderful teacher and staffs. Yes, they are academic strong. Also, I feel kids is enrich with experience and grow to be a good citizen. I can't say for all the teachers. But my kids have met great teachers with good characters that influence them to be good citizen and encourage them to thrive. A lot of teachers in this school has been teaching here for a while cause they likes their job and like this school. And happy satisfied teacher treat/ and teach kids well. Ex : one school year day my kid share with me. mom, it's ok. Life is not smooth. My teacher said " Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass: it's about learning to dance in the rain. She recite it by memory. I can see that her teacher tell them not only one time. so she remember it. Ex: they have eggs in the classroom just to show kids how chicken was bornEx : The whole class write a book and publish it. Ex: They let kids involve in a radio opening for a day. It's quite a experience to hear my kids sing national anthem from a local radioEx: they have class pet. kids learn with animal and grow compassion. And one year one of my kids class pet passed away. And the teacher did a great job use this oppotunity to undersand death and welcome new pet.Ex: their school field trip is actualy letting kids play and have fun. At first I didn't understand. Then I see the wisdom in it. I remember boring field trip when I was kid.These are just few examples of how teacher and school put heart in their education and passion about what they do. And they do a really good job on no bully or any kind. My kids goes to school feel safe and I feel at ease. ( my kids told me his teacher run and also like jump acroos the room to stop a kid cause she saw something is wrong. This school does take it seriously. And if a kid is bully. They effectly guiding the kids day by day till he feel loved and change.( personal experience that my kids told me the change of a kid from 1st grade to 4th grade)
