The Social Studies committee of Valle Catholic designated the week of April 16-20 as Geography Week. During that week students in all grades celebrated their geography knowledge.
Grades PreK-12 participated in various geography activities in the classroom, including marking places they’ve visited on maps or pinning them on an online map.
On Thursday, students wore shirts from places they’ve visited or would like to go. Several grades participated in geography competitions.
