Thanks to the generosity of Project Beauty Share, West Valley received more than 800 pounds of hygiene products collected during this fall’s Hope 4 Kids Hygiene Drive!

From toothbrushes and soap to deodorant and hair care products, schools were able to select items that best met their students’ needs. These donations helped restock school care closets and community pantries, provide supplies to families during home visits, and create care baskets for families in need. We even handed out toothbrushes to elementary students during a Halloween walk!

These everyday essentials do more than meet basic needs. They help students feel confident and cared for while easing the financial burden on families. A huge thank you to Project Beauty Share and everyone who donated!

The sky's the limit! ✈️

Pilot Bob Hood recently visited Centennial Middle School to give students an inside look at his career in aviation. Representing the Alaska Airlines Pilots Association (ALPA) Education Committee, Bob connected students' science lessons to the four forces of flight: lift, drag, gravity (weight) and thrust. Students had plenty of questions as Bob shared what it takes to be a pilot, including making good decisions and keeping passengers safe.

We love connecting classroom learning to real-world careers. Thanks, Bob, for sharing your experiences and inspiring our students to explore new possibilities!

Several West Valley High School students recently took a field trip to Volta Line School to get a firsthand look at career opportunities in the electrical lineworker industry. Organized by Debbie Schilling, WVSD career specialist, the trip gave students a chance to explore a hands-on career pathway that doesn't require a traditional four-year college degree.

We want to extend our thanks to Volta staff as well as Eric Rosentrater for mentoring students as well as helping make opportunities like this happen!

We appreciate The Spokesman-Review writing a story about local school levies that were on the November ballot. Scroll to the bottom of the article to read about how West Valley voters approved both the EP&O and Capital Projects levies.

Victory erupted for several school districts across Spokane County Tuesday night as voters approved levies to fund educational programming and infrastructure improvements. Some district races, however, were still too close to call.

Thank you, West Valley! We are excited to share that both of our replacement levies are likely to be approved. Funding from these levies will begin in 2028 and stays directly in our schools to support West Valley students. These levies will help us continue strategic goals of ensuring every student belongs, achieves and succeeds.

We appreciate all who took time to learn and share information about what these levies mean for our students. Discover more about the two replacement levies at bit.ly/WV2026levies

The votes are in, and Duck wins! 🦆🗳️

After reading the book "Duck for President," kindergarten students in Mrs. Flaherty's class at Pasadena Park Elementary headed to the polls to cast their votes for Duck or Farmer Brown. Along the way, these young voters practiced recalling story details, forming opinions and using math skills to tally the results. Complete with voting booths and "I Voted" stickers, it was a fun, hands-on lesson in civics!
