This is TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!! And here at Valley View, we have a great deal to be thankful for! I have experienced firsthand the long hours outside of the “bell schedule” the staff of Valley View spends preparing for your children. Please consider showing appreciation for your child’s teacher and the Valley View Support Staff through cards, flowers, treats, gifts, handshakes and hugs. Pictures and poems from your child are always special! 

As the year rolls on, a few events need additional attention and preparation. A letter explaining the Talent Show is accompanying this copy of the Principal Press. It is required to have parent permission and to audition before a child will be signed up for the BIG SHOW! This is a fun and heartwarming event!

Another activity to prepare for is the Knowledge Fair on May 16^th. All 4^th grade students need to prepare an Idaho Report; all 5^th graders are working on a science or academic assignment. This event will go into the evening and feature a free meal, followed by the DESSERT AUCTION! This brings back a little piece of Evergreen School and will provide financial support for our children.

 A third event will show appreciation to our volunteers, who we could not live without! On June 3^rd, we will entertain and feed these fine people. An invitation will be sent out soon. If we miss you, please give us a call! The volunteers will then join us for the staff vs. 5^th grade kickball game.

Listed below is an abbreviated version of upcoming events. Keep in touch with your teachers!
