SVE will be hosting a Family Reading Night on Thursday, March 4th from 5:00-7:00 p.m.  Bring the whole family to make bookmarks,  enjoy snacks and read…read…read…!  Our Scholastic BookFair will also be open during this time to find some new book treasures.  Every student that attends is entered in a drawing to win a free book.

Our 3rd – 5th grade classrooms will be performing at 7:00p.m. on March 10th for the SVE Spring Concert.  We invite family, friends and community to join in on the celebration.

For all interested parents and staff, there will be a meeting of the yearbook committee on Friday, March 5, 2010. We will be working page setup and assigning specific pages to those who wish. We also have a plethora of pictures to sort through and identify the students in each. The goal is to have each student represented in the yearbook twice, not including their school picture. So come by the Computer Lab, Room 18 on Friday, March 5, 2010 at 12:45 p.m. If you have questions, you can email me at tammera.mullings@district6.org or call 541.494.6897. Hope to see you then.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of longtime Sam’s Valley resident and school board member, Lenore Gebhard.  Her commitment and dedication to our students and community will always be cherished.

For all interested parents, there will be a meeting of the yearbook committee on Thursday, January 21, 2010. We will be working on the yearbook layout and formulating ideas for page setup. The cover is a work in progress that we are pretty sure will excite everyone. So come by the Computer Lab, Room 18 on Thursday, January 21st at 12:45 p.m. If you have questions, you can email me at tammera.mullings@district6.org. Hope to see you then.

A big thank you to our Central Point Rotary Club who purchased and provided all of our Third graders with their own dictionary. We appreciate them thinking of us.  Last month we also had the opportunity to recognize SVE 5th grader, Carlie Landon, as the CP Rotary Student of the Year.  Thank you to CP Rotary for their continued support our of students!

This is just a reminder to make sure that phone numbers here at school are up-to-date and that we have more than one phone number to use in case of an emergency. A few years ago we experienced a significant power outage during the colder weather and at the beginning of the school day. It was necessary to close school. It can be quite a lengthy process to contact all  parents. Hopefully this will not be necessary this year, but if we are prepared with cell phone numbers and emergency contacts of people you allow to pick up your child, we can handle emergencies efficiently and without anxiety for your child. The District website is a great place to check to be alerted of a late start or school closure and bus route cancellation due to inclement weather. Local radio and TV stations are also a good place to check.
