We've had a fantastic month and are looking forward to all the fun traditions and activities coming up in May and June! Last Friday night was our Spring Fling dance, held at the event center at Sun City Church. We are so appreciative of our neighbor, Sun City, for allowing us to use their space. You can see from the photo below that our students had a great time!

On the academic front, our students are currently working hard on getting their Tradeshow Projects ready for May 30th and many are also prepping for AP exams that also happen in May. The Tradeshow is always an exciting day to see what they have been working on all year, and we do hope that you will be able to attend (see details below).

As we welcome Amanda St. Pierre to the role of Principal for SVT next year, please know that I will be working with her to ensure a smooth transition. Spokane Valley Tech is a very special place and we are excited to have her join this community!

Warm Regards,

Tricia Campbell, Interim Principal @ SVT

We are so excited to welcome our new principal, Amanda St. Pierre, to Spokane Valley Tech. Here is a note from her:

I am ecstatic to be part of the SVT family! I am passionate about career and technical education, project based learning, alternative ed/options schools, and really anything that empowers students to take charge of their learning! I am in year 17 of my career, 10 of those years being in a school much like SVT and I can't wait to learn more about the students, staff, families, and community that make this place so special!

Outside of education I am a mom of three awesome daughters that are 21, 11, and 3, a wife, and a CVSD resident. I was born and raised in the Spokane Valley and look forward to bringing the next chapter of my career as an educator and leader back to where I got my start as a learner!

Stop by the Garden to get some tasty drinks and snacks and support our school activities! Wednesday and Friday this week!

Come be a part of the SVT PTO on May 16th! We would love to see you there!

Come join us for our last Game Night this year! To make the event extra fun, we are going to have The Machinist Institute Trailer on site for students to visit. The Machinist Institute Trailer accommodates approximately 6 students every 15 minutes. While in the trailer, students will gain valuable insights into CNC Milling, CNC Lathe operations, and their robot/mill setup. Additionally, they offer the option to explore the AC/DC trainer and the CNC trainer within the trailer.

We have also invited our incoming class of STEM Academy students. It will be a fun night of playing games and making friends.

There will be no school Monday, May 27th. Enjoy the 3-day weekend to remember and honor those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

The 9th annual SVT Tradeshow of Innovation is coming up! Our students have been working on projects for several months in a variety of subject areas. Students focus on the design process, learning, innovating, and collaboration with peers and staff. We are so excited to see everyone's presentations! Presentation schedules will be finalized and published by May 23rd.

The end of the school year is almost here! Finals will be held June 13th and 14th. See below for the adjusted Bell Schedule and Early Dismissal information.

We kicked off our Retro Spirit Week with a fashion show starring our students and teachers! During the week, we dressed in outfits from the 70s-2000s, rocked some retro hairdos and busted a move in our throwback workout apparel. Congratulations to our Sophomore class for having the highest participation!

Our Engineering students travelled down to the University of Idaho last week to attend the Engineering Design EXPO. While they were there, they learned about all the industry sponsored projects designed by the students at U of I.
