Spokane Valley Tech & STEM Academy

It was so great to see all of our students and staff back at SVT today! I hope your family enjoyed a wonderful holiday season and had time to relax and have fun during the break. This is the final month of first semester, and we will continue to have Homework Help every Monday and Wednesday from 2-3 PM for any students who need help in any subjects. We want all of our students to finish strong!

Our senior class is busy planning our Winter Formal dance, set for January 26th from 7-9 PM. This is going to be a great event and tickets will go on sale this week. They are also asking for help with some decorations; more information below and if you are able to help they would greatly appreciate it!

Please read below for more specifics on what's happening this month at SVT. If you have questions or need more information, please reach out to me at tcampbell@cvsd.org or 509-558-6507.

Sincerely,

Tricia Campbell, Interim Principal @ SVT

Here's a few photos from activities in December.

Our Advanced Manufacturing students got to learn lifesaving skills and practice using Stop the Bleed kits. A huge thank you to Providence Sacred Heart for providing this training opportunity!

As ASB Vice President, Aiden attends CVSD School Board meetings once a month to keep them updated on all the cool things we are doing here at SVT. Thank you Aiden for your hard work!

This past month, our freshman got to complete the 9th Annual "Recipe Rearrange" project in their health class. They made popular recipes more nutritious by substituting unhealthy ingredients for healthier ones. They also got to partake in a potluck with all of their recipes!

Fire Science instructors gave a live demonstration to our Fire Science 1 students to show how fire moves based on air movement and ventilation. Important and lifesaving knowledge!
