RVMS Teacher Appreciation week was so fun this year! We acted like students for a day and had a fun team building activity as secret service agents and passed around a top secret folder for a prize at the end of the day. One thing is for sure, we love our students and these teachers show up every day with patience, passion, and dedication. Middle school is a time of growth, change, and discovery, and our teachers go above and beyond to support, encourage, and inspire students through it all. Thank you for the early mornings, late nights, endless encouragement, and the positive impact you make both inside and outside the classroom. Your ability to connect with students, build confidence, and create a safe place to learn does not go unnoticed. We appreciate all you do for our students, our school, and our community. Thank you for being difference-makers every single day! ❤️ BEST TEAM EVER! ❤️

Elks Super Star Award!!! ⭐️
Lisa Pifer is a crucial part of the 2nd grade team! She is always working quietly behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly and successfully. Whether she’s helping in classrooms to support our teachers or teaching 1-on-1 and small group sessions with students who need an extra boost, Lisa stays busy all day long.
You can always count on her to keep things safe and sound from the playground to the cafeteria, and she’s always willing to lend a hand wherever it’s needed, always with a fun attitude! Our students feel safe with Mrs. Pifer and always know they can go to her with any of their needs. We don’t know what we’d do without her, and we’re so lucky to have Lisa on the Round Valley Primary School Team! Thank you, Lisa, for all you do! -Nominated by Caty Salazar
Elks Super Star Award! 🌟
Mrs. Salazar is a hands on leader who brings energy and positivity into every corner of the school. Always cheerful, she greets students and staff with a smile and a genuine interest in how everyone is doing. Rather than staying behind a desk, she is actively involved in
classrooms, hallways, and school events, offering guidance and support whenever it’s needed. Known for her hilarious and creative approaches, she often organizes fun activities for students and staff themed spirit days, friendly competitions, or surprise games that bring laughter to the school day. She is especially supportive of children who need extra patience and understanding, taking the time to connect with them, listen to their concerns, and guide them in a positive direction. She also handles the daily responsibilities of running the school without complaint, always maintaining a positive attitude and setting a strong example for others. Her
helpful and compassionate nature makes her approachable to everyone. By leading with enthusiasm, humor, and care, she creates an environment where all students and staff feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow. This is why Mrs. Salazar is a true ELK SUPERSTAR to the “Lil’ Elks” of Round Valley Primary School. It is truly a great place for our littlest elks to grow and make memories, thanks to the dedication that shines through as she makes each child’s time at school fun and memorable in everything she does. Mrs. Salazar, thank you for all you do for your students and staff at Round Valley Primary School!
A huge shoutout to Keaton Redgrave, Dawson Lester, and Saylor Hadlock, who were the only 5th graders to compete at the Middle School Track Finals—and they didn’t just compete, they made it onto the podium with their relay team! 🥇👏
