The medal is engraved with the student's name, year and symbol of the sport in which he/she is participating. A special President's Award Medal is presented to players that maintain straight A's.

Ribbons and Pictures

Ribbons and pictures will be in the communication boxes beginning today. Please be sure to pick up your child picture set.

Lost and Found

We have a huge amount of lost and found, we have no place to store it. We will no longer be locking up in our bins, but rather simply stacking it next to them under the stands. Please check Valencia high school under the bleachers next to our bins. All items will be donated to Good Will at the end of the week every week.

Sincerely,

Alan Bingham
