Let’s start with the past: The Valley View PTO
Book Fair and Community Meal was a great
success! The total book fair sales were $4,890.
Of that, $1,370 in book profits went to teacher
classroom libraries; 180 meals were served!
All the volunteers were beautiful ... cooks,
servers, readers, book clerks, cleanup crew ...
all volunteers, all beautiful! Thank you PTO!
Speaking of PTO, the box tops collection for the
Fall brought in $1,251! LiteHouse lids/labels
and Campbell's soup labels also provide
financial support. Thank you all; let’s keep
this free money coming in!
Now, to the future: For those who like to plan
ahead, the fourth and fifth grade ski trips have
been established. The fourth grade will go to
Schweitzer on January 23 and February 13; the
fifth grade on February 6 and March 6. This is a
great opportunity for our students to experience
this life-time activity.
Skiing is sponsored by our physical education
program, with aluminum cans drives and other
fund raising providing needed scholarships.
Donations are happily accepted.
HALLOWEEN IS COMING!
I like having fun, as much as the next guy, but
October 31 is on Thursday. Thursday is first and
foremost a “School Day!" Please do not send your
child to school in their costume. Most classes
will hold socials in the afternoon.
Please hold the blood/guts to a minimum and no
weapons.
Bonners Ferry High School holds a great “Trick
or Treat” social for all children from 5 to 7
p.m.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held during
the first week of November. Your attendance at
these meetings is crucial! You, the parent, are
the primary teacher for your child!
We are a resource to the education which begins
in the home. The school cannot do its job
without your on-going support and cooperation!
We hope to have 100% participation at these most
important meetings!
Finally, elections for the VVES Student Council
will be held on November 5, “Election Day!"
The School President, V.P., and Treasurer are
selected from the fifth grade. A Class
Representative will be elected from each of the
fourth and fifth grade classes. A student who
runs for office must have their parents’ and
teachers’ permission; speeches will be held
first thing on Election Day.
Unlike our grown up government officials, no
false promises, bribes or trash talk is allowed!
Come watch the speeches; you will enjoy the
event!
