Last week we celebrated our School Counselor, Miss Schocke! Weldon Valley couldn’t ask for a more encouraging light to love and support our students, day in and day out- all day, every day.

Thank you, Miss Schocke, for your commitment to making a positive difference at Weldon Valley. Your ability to know your students and what they need is remarkable.
