The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom.

Change for Cheetahs
It is almost that time of year at Deer Valley!! Start saving your pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters for Deer Valley PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year! Change for Cheetahs week starts on Monday, November 4th celebrating Deer Valley, The Most Magical Place on Earth. We would like to encourage everyone to get into the spirit of the theme by dressing in their favorite Disney inspired outfits.

Deer Valley is excited to invite you to participate in our “Extra Special” series this year. Every two weeks third, fourth and fifth grade students will have an opportunity to engage with leaders within our school and community under the direction of Ms. Stokes and Mrs. Elmore. We believe that strong partnerships between home, school and community are essential to the success of our students.
Your insights and experiences can provide valuable perspectives for our students. We would love for you to share your knowledge on a topic that you are passionate about. We've met with students over the past few days and their interested topics range from archaeology to gymnastics to technology innovation! We hope to offer a variety of topics over the course of the school year.
Please let us know if you are interested in presenting by completing the form below and what topic you would like to discuss. We will work with you to schedule a time this school year that is convenient for both you and our students. These sessions take place on Thursday and Friday mornings from 7:50-10:50 and include six 30 minute sessions.
Thank you for your continued support of our school! We look forward to hearing from you!
