SOUP-ER Bowl Canned Food Drive
Tomorrow is the last day to donate. This is our second kindness project of the year. We are asking students to bring at least 2-4 cans of soup for the Second Harvest Food Bank.
Let's all show our school spirit and KINDNESS. Let's all show that Valencia is truly a Caring Community!
Thank you to those families that have already donated. So far we have filled FOUR barrels!
Families can drop off canned food donations between 7:30-4:00 through 2/26 at the Main Office. Thank you!
NEXT WEEK, March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd from 1:00-5:00!
Please drive through the main gate at the field, and park on the blacktop on the basketball courts. There will be cones marking rows and staff to help.
We are asking that students exit the car with ONE parent/guardian to help with supervision and maintaining safe conditions to and from the cafeteria. We are trying to move these days along as efficiently as possible. Everyone exiting the car needs to be masked.
Please refer to the following schedule for Picture Day:
