Tremendous way to help schools ... vote!

Valley View Elementary
Let’s start this edition with an update and
celebration of our ‘Beloved PTO’! The Valley
View School Carnival was great fun! The food was
good, the games were fun and the dunk booth was
a splash! The reason for the event was to have
family fun; on top of that we raised $1,700!
The raffle brought in an additional $630 and the
math-a-thon $1,900. For a full update from the
PTO, come to the next meeting at 4:15 p.m. March
13.
We are in the middle of "I Love to Read" week!
Dr. Seuss, whose birthday this was built around,
has been celebrated and quoted.
Besides writing over 40 children’s books (which
challenge our phonemic skills), he has great
advice to offer, “You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes. You can steer
yourself any direction you choose. You're on
your own. And you know what you know. And YOU
are the one who'll decide where to go...”
Oh, the Places You'll Go!
I am proud to be a part of the positive
reputation at VVES. Active participation within
the school has shown tremendous growth over the
last year. Visiting authors have strengthened
our written language instruction and volunteer
participation has increased, all thanks to the
Idaho Reads VISTA Program.
Financial contributions have come through the
PTO, as well as, public support of BoxTops,
Campbell Soup Labels and Litehouse lids/labels.
Another tremendously powerful way to help is to
VOTE; make your opinion count.
On Tuesday, March 12, our community will hold a
Maintenance & Operation Levy to support Boundary
County School District #101.
Attached to this copy of the Principal Press is
an
information sheet. Though I cannot
offer my opinion on which way to vote, I can
provide factual data. Please look this over; we
will see you at the polls!

P.S. Today a point was made at Valley View!
Through improved reading and writing skills,
students learned they can make a change! My new
appearance should provoke this thought! |
