Book Club
Purpose
The purpose of the VHS Book Club is to raise interest and engage students in literature and literacy, and contribute to the reading culture at Valley High School. Book Club members collaborate with each other about literature, participate in activities to bring technology together with literacy, promote reading on campus, and engage in school/community service. Book Club activities will be sustained through fund-raising.
Book Club votes each year for club officers who lead club meetings and activities.
Book Club meets every OTHER Tuesday in the library, alternating with National Honor Society meetings. Club meeting dates are listed on the school calendar.

VHS Book Club members can earn an Academic Letter at the end of a school year if they meet the following criteria each semester:
- Earn a GPA of 2.5 or better.
- Attend VHS Book Clubs meetings (90% attendance or better).
- Create one 2-minute book talk.
