Weekly Family Update #17
December 6, 2020
Principal's Message
Hello Falcon Families,
This past week I was joined by representatives from our Oak Valley Falcon Foundation as we dedicated our shade structures for the new 300 building. Our Foundation fundraised for several years to make this needed shade a reality for our students. I cannot wait for our Falcons to be able to sit here and enjoy the company of friends or work quietly on school work. Thank you so much to this dedicated group of parent volunteers, and thank you so much to the Oak Valley parent community for your financial support.
Beginning this week, my team and I will be going through the Oak Valley Family Learning Environment Preference Survey to place students accordingly into their desired school option. This work will take some time and I will send out more details as we complete this work. Thank you for your patience as we continue to prepare to reopen our school for on-campus learning.
Thank you so much to all of you who attended our ASB Jersey Mike's fundraiser this past Wednesday; it was a great success, my family and I enjoyed dinner together that evening!
Please consider making a donation to the Adopt-A-Family program. We have one week left. More information can be found in the flyer below. Thank you for supporting our Falcon Families.
Thanks for all you do for our Oak Valley Community! Go Falcons!
Beaming with Falcon Pride,
Mr. Young
Principal
Oak Valley Middle School
