Thanksgiving break begins next Wednesday, 11/24. It’s the time for some reflection on gratitude, thinking about those who have supported us and how our lives have been graced.
Since we will not be sending out our weekly newsletter next Thursday, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank our Valencia families for your contributions and involvement in our school. The kids have been working hard and are WONDERFUL to work with!
Hope you have a pleasant three days off...November 24th-26th.

TOE-vember Sock Drive!
We just over the half-way mark with our TOE-vember Kindness Project. So far, we’ve collected 639 pairs of socks. AMAZING! We have surpassed our goal of 500 pairs of socks. Let’s try and double our goal and get to 1000 pairs of socks by the end of the month. Thank you for bringing in new socks if you can. We have five more school days to get there!
We know we can do it! Let's help others in our community cover their cold toes this TOE-vember~November! The last day to donate is Novemeber 30th.
Save the date for December 29, 2021 when the Santa Cruz Warriors take on the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Tickets will be on sale in November! Each ticket is $25 each for baseline and $30 each for sideline. A portion of the ticket proceeds will benefit the Second Grade Class. Every ticket purchase will be entered in a raffle to receive one of ten Santa Cruz Warriors products!
It makes for a great winter break present or birthday and anniversary surprise and the first 30 tickets purchased will have the opportunity to participate in the halftime high five fan tunnel! We have a limited number of tickets so buy early in the Main Office before we sell out! Flyers will be sent home with more details.
Our Fall Book Fair in the Library is coming, December 6th-10th! This is the first major fundraiser for the Library. Let's show our support. Choose from thousands of books. We can't wait to see you there!
Each class will have a special time during the week to visit the fair. In addition, parent/family visits will be available by appointment only.
