We are looking for 11 more families to become Valley View Vibe Boosters. This helps the PTO continue to provide meaningful support for our students and teachers throughout the year!

The VVMS PTO does not hold any other fundraisers throughout the year, this is your chance to support our school!

Pay your Family Contributions HERE

Our plan is to offer the same support this year, but we can't do it without you!

PTO Family Contributions are $75 per family. Paying gives you access to the VVMS directory!

** If you require a SCHOLARSHIP please enter code CONTRIBUTIONS2025 at checkout ** 

Ask your employer about matching your contributions! Some companies offer to match gifts such as PTO Booster or PTO contributions as an employee benefit. Contact your HR representative to learn if your workplace has a matching program available.

Get your Hornet some cute Edina gear for the holidays! 

Order soon to get it by mid-December.

Bowie, the new therapy dog, had an absolute BLAST last Friday, getting to meet students and hang out!

Food Resources

There are number of Food Resources available and ready to serve families. All the programs are no barrier and you don’t need to live in a certain community to be served, all are welcome! 

Additional food programs are available and all the programs listed are near Edina. 

Thanksgiving Meal Baskets

Edina Rotary Clubs are offering a limited number of Thanksgiving Baskets to families in Edina or attend Edina Public Schools. The meal will be fully cooked and delivered to the family home. Someone must be home on Wed. Nov. 26 between 12-3pm to receive the basket. 

If you could benefit from this generous donation, please complete the Request Form to be entered into the lottery. 

Requests must be received by 4pm on November 10. 

The VVMS Service Squad SLT is sponsoring a school-wide food drive. Our goal is to collect over 5,000 items to donate. Please have your student(s) bring food items to their advisory class. We will collect items starting on Nov. 3 and ending on Nov. 17. Service Squad members will box up and deliver the items on Nov. 17 to the VEAP food shelf.  

For the most needed items, please check VEAP's website.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you to all who participated and showed up to watch our talented students in the Variety Show.

Congratulations to the Valley View/SouthView Cross Country teams. The girls team brought home 1st place, and the Boys team brought home 2nd place from the State Meet!

VVMS Choirs hard at work! 

Images from left to right are: 6th grade choir practice and 8th grade soprano/alto choir working on musical notation.

Seventh grade choir had a class with Ms. Otzen to connect their song "Paint Box" with art. They also practiced drawing a treble clef symbol.

Culture Crew SLT is thrilled to share that we are launching another Make Edina Green project! As a school, we aim to foster a healthier environment and community for our students and teachers.

If you have any seasonal potted plants or houseplants, we would love to collect them so we can display them in our classrooms! This will give plants another life and make our school more vibrant and green!

If you can, please bring some plants to help live up the VIBE. Please drop them at door 1 near the front office. We are excited to find new homes for your unused potted plants.

This year, Ms. Endo will continue the Career Exploration program in collaboration with Community Education, VVMS Library Council, and community members! 

We're looking for individuals to share their passion, either career or hobby, with Valley View students in a '20 questions in 20 minutes' format. Interested? Click here to fill out a form and help our students discover their passion!

Working with middle school requires the right temperament. We mostly just need you to be smiley, and cheerful. We avoid practices that involve screaming or yelling. We prefer softer approaches that are kind but firm. Individuals volunteering are able to suspend bias and judgment and can offer support for all students. If you think this is you? Please help us in adding a greater eco-system like approach to how we guide and shepherd our young Hornets.

Dates: Fridays, Dec.12th - Jan. 30th from 4-9pm

Get ready to shred at Hyland Hills! Join us for 5 unforgettable nights full of friends, parent chaperones, and exhilarating times on the slopes. Whether you're a seasoned pro carving up black diamonds or just starting out, our club is the perfect place to ignite your passion for winter sports.

Participants will be bussed from VVMS to Hyland Hills Ski Resort and back.
