ONE MORE WEEK OF OCTOBER FUN!
Dear Spring Valley Families,
It's been a great week at SVE!
On Wednesday, October 19th, we will celebrated our first quarter Swamp Rally. In the 3rd-6th grade rally, we were fortunate to have a special guest, Eduardo Nájera, who was the first player from Mexico to be drafted into the NBA. He spoke to our Gators about his story and the secrets of success.
Today we also celebrated Richardson Reads. Guest readers visited classrooms and shared favorite books with students. Our students were wonderful hosts and listeners!
After school today, our students participated in the Richardson High School homecoming parade. Our parade float inspired by the theme "Eagles Got Game" was planned and decorated by our wonderful Spring Valley PTA. If you haven't joined PTA yet, we'd love to have your input for future events. THANK YOU, PTA!!!!
The October fun isn't over yet! Next week is Scholastic Book Fair and Red Ribbon Week. Be sure to scroll down to see more information about these events. Each day next week has a theme that you'll want to participate in. Operation Warm will take place on Tuesday. Every student will receive a new coat for the coming cold weather.
Finally, be sure to come out for our Fall Carnival on October 28. Scroll down for the flyer from PTA and information about how you can help make our carnival a success. We look forward to seeing you there!

VOLUNTEER AT SVE
If you are interested in becoming an RISD volunteer, please sign up through risd.voly.org.
Each year, all volunteers must make sure their contact information is up to date or create a new account if they have never signed up. The process takes about five minutes, and you will be able to customize your volunteer opportunities based on interest and school. All volunteers must complete a background check through the VOLY system.
Volunteer opportunities are available at some schools in classroom support, office support, and cafeteria support.
Needs at each school can change each day, and schools will confirm with volunteers if they are needed on that campus in that area on the day chosen. Please do not go to a school unless you have received a confirmation message from the campus or another RISD representative. If your campus of choice does not need a volunteer in your area of interest, please consider volunteering at a campus with greater needs.
