Student Council members from Valley Vista Elementary have been thanking community members for their service for several years and 2018 is no exception. In the past, they have sent cards or invited community members to breakfast, but each year is a little different.
On March 15, Student Council provided breakfast treats and thank you cards to the North Royalton police and fire departments. The theme for this act of appreciation was “Heroes Don’t Always Wear Capes.” Student Council members voted to use some of the group’s funding to purchase treats. They also contacted local businesses and received help from Giant Eagle and doughnuts from Becker’s Donuts. When first responders came to pick up their treats, students presented them with thank you cards and notes they created themselves.
In addition to thanking first responders, Student Council also thanked Valley Vista bus drivers. They delivered doughnuts and “Outstanding Bus Driver Awards” to each driver in the morning. “We appreciate all they do every day to get our students to and from school safely,” said Student Council advisors Amy King and Arynn Leety.
