Spring Valley Hosts Spring Open House 🌸💚💛
This Wednesday, Spring Valley High School held its Spring Open House, welcoming families to campus for an evening of connection and collaboration.
A big Viking thank you to NewSpring Church for generously providing Chick-fil-A sandwiches and salads for our faculty and staff before the event. After a long workday, the meal gave our team a much-needed boost of energy as they prepared to welcome families.
We also want to thank the parents and guardians who came out to meet their students’ teachers, ask questions, and engage in meaningful conversations. This partnership between home and school is essential as we work together to help our students stay on track and reach their goals.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Spring Open House a success! 💚💛
