Message from our Principal
Hello Mustangs,
As we approach another week, I hope that you can look around and see the beauty of summer approaching with the warmer weather. It is easy to get overwhelmed with all of the negative news around us. Remember to try and stay positive and enjoy the little things.
I hope this week's newsletter finds you well. On behalf of the entire West Valley Staff, please remember that you are missed, you are valued, you are loved, and it is still a GREAT day to be a MUSTANG!
Sincerely,
Ms. Cahoon
