A big THANK YOU to The SGS CAT Team for donating Gatorade and granola bar snacks to RVPS for our field day! Students enjoyed the snacks and we appreciate you for supporting our students. Thank you, Chellsey Cochran, for organizing and delivering! Go Elks!

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!

RVPS Elks Super Star Award!!! Ms. Kendra Strack, our speech therapist, is phenomenal with each and every student. From her calming presence to her dedication to helping every student succeed, she makes our school a better place every single day. Ms. Kendra doesn’t just stop at speech sessions. She is a vital teammate to our entire staff, always stepping up to collaborate and help teachers with any student who needs a hand. We are so lucky to have her heart and energy in our primary school! Go Elks!

The Primary School held our Second Annual Community Story Time. Our teachers read books and provided activities inspired by the books they read. First Things First attended with information and resources for families and teachers. They provided free books to every child that attended. The Apache County Youth Council provided information on how screen time affects children and gave parents ideas on how to set appropriate limits for children. We are already looking forward to next year’s event! Thank you to our dedicated Primary School Teachers and all who attended the event!
