COMMUNITY Involvement: Spring Valley School has over 40 business/community
partnerships including a collaborative grant with 4 local agencies using high
school and senior citizen volunteers for extended student services. The City
Council, Chamber of Commerce, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Library,
Lions, Rotary and Soroptomist clubs, all help to stretch precious few resources.
Their help is tireless and often goes unrecognized, but it is a big part of
the school's success at providing improved instruction and the quality of services
available for students at Spring Valley.
It is a school goal to provide a positive and safe learning environment while
presenting a challenging curriculum. Parents, teachers, aides, students, tutors,
volunteers, city/business leaders and service club members support all our children
in a successful experience that they call school. It is a place where they are
allowed to feel good about themselves and their ability to learn. The following
descriptions give you a closer look at a few of our partnerships and their activities
at the school.
