VVSD Spotlight- VVSD Printing Services, a.k.a “Print Shop”
In addition to providing educational, transportation, nutrition, and business services, VVSD also has a department that provides printing services to meet the needs of our students and staff members.
The VVSD Print Shop produces a vast variety of products ranging from classroom worksheets and workbooks to apparel, scoreboards, and much of the graphic enhancements visible on the walls of all our school buildings.
The VVSD Print Shop provides dedicated services to its “customers” and in doing so, provides the VVSD community with efficiencies and savings that would not be possible if outside vendors provided those services.

Fall is Theatre Season in Valley View!
Romeoville HS Presents “Peter/Wendy” in the RHS Little Theater

In this lyrical, atmospheric interpretation of Peter Pan, playwright Jeremy Bloom strips the familiar story down to its emotional essence. Peter lures Wendy away from her nursery to the magical world of Neverland, where she joins his adventures with Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily, and the menacing Captain Hook. A low-tech, inventive adaptation that pays homage to the darker themes of J.M. Barrie's original, Peter/Wendy will mesmerize audiences of all ages.
Tickets are available at the door: Adults $7, Students $5, free admission for children under age 10 years old.

“Clue” takes to the stage at the Claar Family Auditorium at 7 pm on Fri. Nov. 1 and Sat. Nov. 2 and also for a Sun. Nov. 3 matinee at 3 pm. Tickets are $10 each when purchased online at theBrookTheatre.org or for $13 at the door.
