Square 1 Art Fundraiser
Want to buy your children's artwork on items such as coffee mugs, coasters and more?!
Your teachers have sent home/emailed (or planning to) you the Square 1 Art forms. Normally the children do a fun art project in their classes (during a 'normal' school year) and we submit them. Once they are submitted, Square 1 provides a magazine with your children's artwork for you to purchase items (great for holiday gifts).
This year, once you receive your form (either physically in a pick up or virtually via email), follow your teachers directions (they may decide to do an art project with their students or let you be creative on your own). You'll then need to upload your child's art to the Square 1 Art website. Instead of a magazine this year, you'll be able to view their art on items from the website. You will also purchase from the website. The deadline to upload and purchase is November 30th (but you'll want to get it in sooner).
This is a great fundraiser for our school!

Mountain Mike's Pizza Halloween Fundraiser - 10/31 - All Day
Got Dinner plans for Halloween???
Mountain Mikes (next to Diablo Valley College) is supporting Valhalla Elementary School's "Pizza Fundraiser" on Oct. 31st - ALL DAY for Dine-In, Take Out, & Delivery.
And you can pre-order ahead which makes it even easier on you!
Please support Valley View Leadership's Halloween Fundraiser!
Halloween is shaping up to be very different this year, but the good news is that students have found a fun and safe way for the community to celebrate! Go to the Valley View webstore, located at https://vvmspayonline.myschoolcentral.com/, and for a minimum donation of only $5.00 each, families can get Halloween goodie bags for themselves, other family members, and friends! Goodie bags are filled with all sorts of fun snacks and sweet treats, and are giftwrapped and ready to give away. *The first 100 donors, you will also get limited edition Halloween stickers included in your giftbags!*
Please give our webstore address to friends and family members, so they can take part in the fun too! A Google form is attached to this email, which contains all of the important information.
Please fill it out and email it to vvmsleadership@mdusd.net to complete your donation/order. Be sure to fill out and send in the Google form, or your order may not get counted!
There are a limited amount of goodie bags, so don’t delay – donate today! A major credit card is required for your donations via the webstore. Goodie bags will not be sold for cash in person.
The deadline to make donations for goodie bags is next Tuesday, October 27, 2020.
Goodie bag pickup will be in front of Valley View between 3:00 and 5:00pm on Wednesday,
October 28th.
For a flat donation of $20.00, Leadership students and their parents will deliver
goodie bags to students’ homes. The $20.00 donation will cover delivery purchases for between one and four bags. *IMPORTANT - If you specify that your bags need delivery, you will need to get your recipient’s home address and include that on the attached Google form. You must also get your friend’s parents’ permission to give out their home address.* Delivered goodie bags will be dropped off by the Leadership students and their parents at the front of the recipient’s home to ensure contactless delivery!
Thank you for your support of our school!
