I was nominated by @Matthew6741 to post what I am grateful for. I am grateful for the opportunity to have a Pocahontas and friends reunion a couple weeks ago. With all of us graduated it’s hard to find times where we’re all together. @vphsleadership #vphsgratitude @Matthew6741

I want to recognized Parker Jensen for being a leader in the Valley Park community. Despite him being a first time Valley Parkian he has become a leader on the field, court, and in the hallway. #LettersForLeaders

I love Valley Park for the friendships that I have made along the way. VP has not only given me the opportunity to spend almost everyday with my friends since kindergarten. Along with this the sports programs have given us opportunities to become better friends. #IloveVPHS

For #ThankAMentorDay day I want to recognize my brother. He has been there for me my whole life and has been a great role model. He is always there to support me and his hard work and determination are traits I look up to. @vphsleadership @ValleyParkSD @ValleyParkHS

Mentors don’t just teach, they inspire, guide, and believe in you when you need it most. Grateful for the ones who help people grow, share a mentor on 1/27 who has helped you! #ThankAMentorDay #VPMentors @ValleyParkHS @ValleyParkSD
