A letter from Valley Catholic Middle School Principal Dr. Jennifer Gfroerer

Dear VCMS Families,

We are excited to begin a new year. The first few weeks have been full of anxious excitement as we started back to school. The energy level, happy laughter, and smiling faces were contagious amongst the students and staff members as we wrapped up our orientation activities and opening ceremonies for our Community Group Olympics.   

Community Groups is a program in which students meet regularly with an engaged faculty member during a scheduled period in the school day. The program aims to provide each student with consistent support and guidance from a member of the school staff, as well as build relationships with students who most often are outside of their usual friend group. The adults, the Community Group Leaders, play a crucial role in the program. They facilitate meetings and activities, advise and guide students, and advocate for their students when appropriate, ensuring the program’s effectiveness and well-being. 

We are blessed to have had such a strong start to the school year and look forward to sharing other highlights as the year progresses. 

Dr. Jennifer Gfroerer
