By Principal Gary Pfleuger Valley View Elementary The first half of the school year is coming to an end! Our focus during the 2014 school year will remain the same: keeping VVES SAFE, CIVIL & PRODUCTIVE! To date, we have made great gains by following this motto. To prove this point, I will acknowledge a number of students who have been very productive. Later this week, we will hold our School Geography Bee. Qualifying for the contest are Jessie McKechnie, Hunter Goff, Josephine Abraham, Jaron Figueroa, Josh Beazer and Ethan Kelley. The list of fifth graders heading to the Regional Spelling Bee includes: Ashley Anderson, Lily Blackmore, Regina Claphan, Anthony Cooper, Aleah Jones, Aleksandra Lowley, Emmet Melior, Jillian Robbins and Ally Wages. The names of the thirrd and fourth grade students who qualified will be available after the New Year. The following is a huge list of the students with perfect attendance for the first quarter of school: Josephine Abraham, Illikai Aitken, Lylah Anderson, Holly Ansley, Kayleigh Arceneaux, Aaliyah Aspitarte, Jasmin Aspitarte, Brody Atkins, Kaybre Banks, Evan Barajas, Bo Bateman, Trey Bateman, Kalleigh Bolton, Levi Bonnell, Elizabeth Bourassa, Kylie Branson, Jacob Bremer, Lillian Bremer, Macenzie Brown, Max Callahan-Winkler, Theo Callahan-Winkler, Allison Carrington, Ivaan, Cartwright, Joselyn Cartwright, Cory Clairmont, Regina Claphan, Hailey Cook, Bailey Cook, Anthony Cooper, Mariah Cooper, Nicholas Cooper, Zechariah Coryell, Rikki Cowin, Brycen Cowin, Aiden Cuthbertson, Jerry Dalton, Jade Daws, Jeremy Dinning, Skyler Dominguez, Emma Dominguez, Marvin Dudley, Bryan Durette, Breonna Eby, Lucas Edwards, Issak Erickson, Johnnie Erickson, Jordan Fairchild, Emmit Fairchild, Mateya Falck, Jaydin Falck, Ellie Falck, Jaron Figueroa, Alyne Fischer, Maygen Fisher, Seth Fisher Fodge, Dalin Foster, Christina Galvin, Anthony Godinez, Brena Gould, Rhys Griffiths, Alayna Halverson, Bradly Hanson, John Hays, Hayden Hazdovac, Adelaide Heigel, Gennavieve Hill, Grace Hopkins, Ethan Hubbard, Malachi Hubbard, Thomas Hubbell, Madison Ingrum, Lhex Davis Jaro, Gianna Jenkins, Tyler Jenson, Santiago Jimenez, Rachelle Johnson, Aleah Jones, Riley Kelley, Ethan Kelley, Caleb Kelley, Makila Ledbetter, Stryder Liermann, Chance Madden, Haven Madrid, Caitlyn Matyi, Byron Maynard, Duncan McKechnie, Emmet Melior, Anthony Miller, Larry Moffett, Cherokee Monnin, Anthony Monnin, Kamen Nelson, Bridget Olson, Lilly Owens, Emily Palmer, Erica Parker, Travis Petersen, Martie Petersen, Ryan Peterson, Sierra Petesch, Brooke Petesch, Riley Petesch, Joseph Pinkerton, Dakota Pinson, Andrew Price, Helene Rae, Troy Randall, Noah Ratcliff, Grayce Raynor, Shaylynn Richards, Jillian Robbins, Dakyn Robbins, Merritt Robbins, Jocelyn Robbins, Logan Rucker, Carrie Runyan, Paige Sartell, Paisley Schulte, Isaiah Shottanana, Dezeray Shottanana, Marisa Shottanana-Ponce, Kayla Smith, Felix Soriano, Rose Standley, Brenna Stewart, Hayden Stockton, Isabella Summerfield, Miley Sund, Morgan Swanson, Chandler Swanson, Jacob Thissell, Anika Tompkins, Emma Tompkins, Gage Tweedie, Morgan Tye, Donovan VanEtten Smith, Sabastian Vickers, Ally Wages, Angelous Waltering, Trinity Warner, Emma Watts, Margaret Weaver, Leah Webster, Marlan White, Autumn Wilder, Shalynn Wolf, Audra Woods, Ruby Yeoumans and Nora Young. Note: Many of the students qualifying for academic contests also have perfect attendance — go figure! The Christmas program was a great show! How can you beat the Christmas Season with kindergarten, fourth, fifth grade students and Mr. David Carpenter? Our Student Council has set some great goals for 2014! On our return to the New Year, we will hold a canned food contest to support the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day “Fill the Bus Challenge." This will run from January 6 through 16. The class with the most items collected will earn an ice cream treat! Other community service project our Student Council is planning to support are: collecting items for the animal shelter; making and delivering May Day cards and flowers to the nursing home; making cards to support all local law enforcement (Border Patrol, Local Police, Sheriff, etc); financial help for the Rex Theatre; community trash pickup and donating money to the bleachers’ fund at VVES.

On behalf of the staff of Valley View, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! |
