Let's Get Together!

One of Susquehanna Valley’s greatest assets is its sense of community. We’ll celebrate that spirit this year with Community Night, Tuesday, May 21, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. on the SV High School campus. SV Sabers families are invited to participate in the celebration of Community Night, which will include, among other things, face painting, open swim, games, crafts, free ice cream and hot dogs and much more!  As part of Community Night, we’re trying something a little different regarding our school art shows. For the first year ever, we will be hosting a district wide art show, consolidating four building-level art displays into one. Hundreds of pieces of art work that our students PK-12 have been creating all year in our four buildings will be on display in the hallways and gymnasium for our visitors to enjoy.  Also, Community Night will feature the annual Richard T. Stank Middle School Spring Concert in the SV High School auditorium beginning at 6:30 p.m.

A word about our photo galleries

A word about our photo galleries You may have noticed recently that many of the photo albums on our Photo Galleries page disappeared for a while. That was due to a change at FlickR, which hosts our galleries, moving from free unlimited storage to a fee-based model. We have now upgraded our FlickR account and are in the process of restoring ALL our albums, containing thousands of photos from around our schools. Please feel free to download and print any photos you find on our galleries page. These are YOUR photos and we hope you enjoy seeing them, saving them and sharing them!
