Hello Valley View Families,

We hope you are enjoying the weekend. We had a wonderful visit from North Middle School Band and Orchestra who showed 5th graders all that Band and Orchestra have to offer, the instruments, etc.

Beginning Monday, we will begin our annual PTO event, Cold Cash for College, so that we may award some scholarships for our MFHS graduating seniors.

Next week and following week, we will begin our winter Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) testing in both Reading and Math. We are excited to see the growth our students have made since fall.

It's going to be a great week! Go Valiant Knights!

Respectfully,

Jenni Tamblingson

Valley View Elementary Principal
