PTO is hosting a Walk-a-thon for the elementary students on September 28th. Please consider donating to help support Tri-Valley PTO.

Introducing a brand-new Tri-Valley tradition: The Viking Shield!
A strong school is built by all of us choosing each day to lift each other up. To celebrate those choices, every quarter, one student and one staff member who show exceptional leadership, kindness, service, and excellence will sign their names directly onto the Viking Shield. Years from now, future Tri-Valley students will walk these hallways and see the signatures of the people who shaped the heart and legacy of our school.
Please join us in celebrating our very first Viking Shield recipients:
Student Award: Maelie Bunton — recognized for bringing sunlight to our learning community, leading by example, and being a friend to all.
Staff Award: Katie Donovan — recognized for her uplifting positivity, empathy, hard work, and dedication to Tri-Valley.
Congratulations to Maelie and Katie! Thank you for showing us all what it truly means to be a Viking.

State Champions (x2)!
The Tri-Valley Middle School Cross Country teams are IESA State Champions! Boys and Girls both took first place in the 2A State meet.

Congratulations to the team and coaches.
The team will have an escort through town after a much-deserved stop for food (our best guess is around 4:30-5:00).
