Valley Manor launched its fall fundraiser to support physical activity related field trips . As a result of the limited “ in gym ” time classes have during the school year , our SCC ( for the 3rd year in a row ) has provided each classroom $ 250 to be used towards field trips that get students moving ( gymnastics , fitness classes , indoor swimming , etc .).

This year the SCC chose to sell gift cards that everybody can use on a daily basis . Every month you spend hundreds of dollars for things like food , gas , clothing , pharmacy , home renovations , etc . All you have to do is pay for some or all of your purchases using GIFT CARDS bought at face value from our students and a percentage of the money spent will come back to the school .

The campaign will run from November 4th – 23rd , so you also have an opportunity to stock up on all those gifts cards you will need for Christmas . Please ask any Valley Manor student about this great opportunity to support our school .
