Our Shared Story

This book contains snapshots of our shared stories at Happy Valley Middle School. In the tradition of This I Believe®, an international project that engages people in composing and sharing essays describing the core values that guide their lives, we have begun to write and archive our stories. Our stories are rooted in the common concepts that we believe unite us as a school community: Acceptance, Empathy, Hope, Interdependence, Integrity, and Pride. With a deeper understanding of these core values, and by sharing our stories, our school can continue to grow together, celebrate writing and storytelling, and form a lasting tradition.
