HOme of the Colts!
It is with excitement, gratitude, and joy that I share with you the magic our TK and Kindergarten children will come back to and have for years to come. Many thanks to Katie Alworth, Erin Hirst, the Green Valley PTA, and the community at large that worked to make this magical playground come to life. Please enjoy!
Welcome to Green Valley Elementary. I hope you find the information on these pages useful and that it inspires you to become an active member of our Community.
Warmly,
Donna Grim, Principal
