Digital Box Tops
All you need is your phone! Download the Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then use the app to scan your store receipt within 14 days of purchase. The app will identify Box Tops products on your receipt and automatically credit our school's earnings online. Twice a year, our school will receive a check and can use that cash to buy whatever we need! Get more info at https://www.boxtops4education.com

Jog-a-thon Chair or Co-Chairs Needed
As many of you know, our current Jog-a-thon chair is done at Valley after this year. We’d love to train our new chair or co-chairs while we still have her! We work with a vendor to run the event and our chair has the plan perfectly mapped out, we just need someone (maybe you?) to keep it moving. Please email us at valleypta at yahoo.com if you have any questions or are interested in getting involved. If Jog-a-thon is not your thing, but you'd still like to get involved, keep reading below. We’d love to have you!

Hello Valley families,
I’m Monica Landeros the 2024-2025 PTA president. This year marks my 11th year as a Valley Elementary parent and 2nd as PTA President. During my time here at Valley, I have been a PTA member, committee chair, and board member. I am a proud mother of three amazing children. My oldest son is a freshman at Poway High, my middle daughter is a 7th grader at Meadowbrook Middle School and my youngest son is a 3rd grader at Valley. I also work part-time as an instructional assistant and substitute teacher for the agriculture department at Poway High. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your leader and I vow to do my best!
