Happy Holidays from Valley Elementary (December Newsletter)

As winter settles in and the snow begins to fly, Valley Elementary is settling in for a short winters nap. Our Holiday break is closing in and it will be time for family, fun and giving. 

This year's Holiday Break will be December 24th, 2014 through January 2nd, 2015. 

The Children will return to school on Monday January 5th, 2015.

**Our Holiday Shop this year was a resounding success. Debbie Crawford would like to once again thank each and every volunteer that helped out. Your hard work and dedication to the children helped make things absolutely wonderful. Every child had a chance to shop and purchase gifts for their family members and even a little something for themselves. 

**We do want to take a moment to thank all those community members who donated items for our holiday shop, your generosity ensured that every child was able to purchase a gift. 

At this time we have No New Construction Update. Phase I is complete and Phase II is on hold. We are waiting on the Bid to go out for Phase II and the plans from the Architect and Engineer.  

The PTA hosted a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser which helped to send the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade classes on a field trip to Morgantown WV where they attended a showing of Mary Poppins at the Met Theater and afterwards had lunch at the WVU Coliseum where many children had a chance to have their picture taken in front of the Statue of Jerry West.  Mark Graham, principal at Valley Elementary overheard students proclaiming it was the best field trip they had every been on. 

 

A Special Thanks goes to Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Durr and the Volunteers from the Arthurdale Service Club who came to help serve the guests during the Spaghetti Dinner. We appreciate all of your hard work and help! Thanks Again!!!!!!!
