Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran School would like to personally thank the PTF volunteers who plan, coordinate, and staff the various events throughout the school year. These events would not have been a success without the dedication and hard work from people like you.
A special thanks to the President of PTF,  Lisa Lee for her generous time and support. Once again, thank you PTF for helping to make SOV great!
End of the Year Celebration



 End of the Year Party!!!
Wednesday, June 3
 
There will be a special assembly in the morning to begin the festivities. Water ballon games will begin at 10:00 am, with lunch following. The afternoon will be lots of fun. Make sure your children are prepared to get wet! They should come to school wearing  bathing suit, shorts (girls) and t-shirt. Bring a hat and towel and make sure they are wearing closed-toed shoes (tennis or water shoes - no crocs or flip-flops). Remember sunscreen!
Teddy Bear Picnic
The TK, K and 5th grade classes had a fantastic time on Friday at the Teddy Bar Picnic! They played with the parachute, had an egg race, got wet in the water balloon toss and had lunch. What a special way to end the year with our Fantastic Friends!
