Mask Extenders for First Responders Update
During this time it is so great to see how Spring Valley is able to give back to our community. Spring Valley's bookkeeper Mrs. Sandra Watts learned from a story on WISTV how a young eagle scout was creating mask relief extenders on his 3D printer. She brought the idea to our engineering teacher Mr. Scott Price and he immediately agreed to help. He used Spring Valley's 3D printer to create mask relief extenders for our first responders here in South Carolina.
Well, this story isn't over just yet after we posted about this project on Viking Update Parth Desai a Spring Valley student decide he wanted to help. He contacted Mr. Price and was able to help produce more mask extenders that we were able to hand out to our first responders.

Remember Your Entire Journey - Buy a Yearbook Today
Time at school has been cut short. Spring sports were called off. Graduation may not be the celebration students have dreamed of. It's not fair, but it's reality. But through all this, one thing remains a constant, there will be a yearbook and it will cover events that happened to this point (even spring sports). This year's book also celebrates Spring Valley's 50th Golden anniversary. Be sure to help your student remember the good times they have had this year and the memories they have created by reserving their copy of the Saga yearbook today. Don't wait to purchase at school due to new developments happening daily with COVID-19, online might be your only way to order. There is a limited supply of books that will be available, and last year they sold out before the end of May. Buy now to reserve your copy by going to www.yearbookforever.com.
