Spring Valley Middle School
The parents, students, and staff work hard to make Spring Valley Middle School what it is today. A fun academic enviroment. ASB works hard to make sure the students are happy and having fun. Teachers make sure the children are not only doing their work, but learning it too. Students do their job of getting a good education and coming home every day and sharing what they learned that school day. Parents are also a big part of it, making sure that their children are happy, healthy, and intellegant. SVMS is a school that uses the money they get on their students to hapl them have a brighter future.
