“Please donate as much as you are able to our direct donation drive. One of the things that makes West Valley such an amazing school is all the extras provided by our supportive PTO. These extras help to give our students a well-rounded education and help those students whose strengths lie in their creativity have a chance to shine.” – Mrs. Erikson, 1st Grade Teacher, WVPTO Board Member

If you have already donated to our campaign, THANK YOU for your support! As of today, we have raised just over $35,000 (almost 30%) of our $125,000 goal. We still have a long way to go with just TWO WEEKS left! This campaign goal only covers half of our significantly reduced annual budget of ~$250,000, so a fundraising shortfall will risk the financial reality of cutting programs that WV students have enjoyed for many years. If you plan to donate, doing so sooner than later is tremendously appreciated.

Here’s what West Valley staff members are saying about the programs and staff funded by your donations and the WVPTO:

“Enriching programs and after school community events make these early years for students filled with memories and give them a picture of how a community should function. Together, we can do great things!” – Mrs. Dabel, 5th Grade Teacher, WVPTO Board Member
