From the SVE Admin Team…
What a great year it’s been. It’s hard to believe June is here! We have had so many highlights this year as we have worked together to help the SVE Skyhawk students grow and learn. We hope you have enjoyed watching your children learn and grow as much as we have this year!
Staffing updates: This time of year is always bittersweet as we begin to look at our staffing changes for the upcoming school year and also say farewell to some of our current staff. First we want to congratulate Ms. Kristi Fortuin as she has secured a part time contract with us for the fall. Ms. Fortuin will be supporting many classrooms in a Support Teacher Role this fall. As Ms. Fortuin will not be returning to the classroom teacher role, we would like to announce that Ms. Kohar has secured a permanent contract with us and will remain in a classroom teacher position at SVE for the fall. Another update; we must say farewell to Ms. Dayman who will be retiring from her CEA role this summer. Best of luck in the next chapter of your life Ms. Dayman. Our temporary CEAs, Ms. Wohland, Ms. Lightfoot, Ms. Mask-Scott, and Ms. Meleniza will all be re-assigned in the fall and we will welcome 4 new permanent CEAs: Ms. Konkin (currently on a part time contract at SVE), Ms. Rotenburger and Ms. Hand (both CEAs from Watson Road Elementary), and finally Ms. Smith (currently at South Rutland Elementary). We are looking forward to a great year ahead!
June reminders - as we head into the last month of school, please watch for emails and text messages reminding you of the many events coming up. Hope to see you all at the PAC Year End Carnival on Wednesday, June 12! Also - please mark your calendars for our Art Walk where you can visit the gym anytime from June 19 - 21 to see the wonderful Water colors our students created with the Artist in Residence: Janice Hennig.

Thank You….
The staff and students at Springvalley Elementary School would like to express our gratitude to our Parent Advisory Council (PAC). Due to your wonderful fundraising, our students have benefited tremendously: we have experienced field trips, movie nights, carnivals, Monster Bashes, hot lunches, Harmony Day teas and many more opportunities that would not have been possible without your support.
SVE staff and students would also like to say thank you to all of the parents and guardians who have volunteered to support our students in and out of the classroom throughout the year. From volunteer classroom helpers to volunteer drivers, we could not have done it without your help! Please join us for our Parent Volunteer Appreciation Tea on Wednesday, June 19th at 1:30 pm in our school library. Invitations will be sent home soon… Hope to see you there!
