Yearbooks with TreeRing
We are excited to start our new partnership this school year with TreeRing. With each yearbook purchase they donate a tree. You can also create two custom pages, free of charge, per child.
Tamara Robinett will be in charge of the yearbook this year. Please send any photos of your student that you would like to be considered for the yearbook to: valhallayearbook@mdusd.org and please put "Yearbook" in the subject line. Please also include your students name and their current teacher.
This will be a year to remember!

Make-Up/Retake Picture Day in Thor Hall - December 2, 2020 from 3-7pm
If you missed it, make-up picture day is December 2nd from 3-7pm. Due to winter weather and the sun setting earlier, makeup pictures will take place in Thor Hall (with all the safety protocols followed). We would love to have all of our Valhalla Vikings in our yearbook! We will not be having a sign up genius for this one since there won't be as many people re-taking or making them up. You can come at whatever time is convenient for you between 3-7pm. Please remember to make sure your child is wearing their mask up until the photos.

I wish you all a very safe, restful and fun thanksgiving break! I am looking forward to relaxing, getting ready for the holidays and spending time with my loved ones!

Please share with me what are thankful for and/or your thanksgiving traditions! I would love to hear from you! Please email, write or send me a picture or your artwork of your thanksgiving break actives!
Love,
