May 2021 Once again we are preparing to close out another school year. It has been a most rewarding year in so many ways. I would like to say thank you to all the students, parents, and teachers. The year brought many unknowns and present- ed challenges that we overcame together. I wish our 4th grade students suc- cess as they move to the Intermediate School. The last day of school is scheduled for Wednesday, May 19th with an early dismissal time of 1:00. As the year comes to a close, each grade level is busy bringing closure to their classrooms with end of the year activities and projects. Have a safe and adventurous summer. We look forward to seeing you in August!

The Brandon Valley Teacher of the Year program is a joint effort by the
Brandon Valley School District and First National Bank to recognize the
superior ability of educators to inspire students of all backgrounds and
abilities to learn. The major purpose of this program is to recognize the
outstanding contributions of teachers and their vital role in the educational
process.
The 2020-21 Brandon Valley School District Teacher of the Year is EVERY
BRANDON VALLEY EDUCATOR! Because of the unprecedented
circumstances of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the EXTRORDINAY EFFORTS
put forth by all staff, we are proud to honor and thank all BV Teachers! Our
staff's collective commitment, resilience, and dedication to student learning
has made the 2020-21 school year possible. In collaboration with First
National Bank and the Brandon Valley Area Chamber of Commerce, and
made possible through the generous support of local businesses, all Brandon
Valley Staff will receive a gift of thanks during Teacher Appreciation Week.
