Turkey Valley Community School District

This half-time show brought standing room only!

Due to weather Saturday Evening the Varsity Girls Basketball game Saturday morning vs Springville at Anamosa start time has been adjusted a little. The start time is now set for 10:35 a.m.

Below is also a message from the organizers of Rivalry Saturday:

"As some of you may have heard, the Remsen St. Mary’s girls basketball team was involved in a serious bus crash early this season on November 15th while returning from a scrimmage. Several members of the team sustained injuries, with a few students facing significant medical challenges ahead.

This Saturday, we will be placing a donation bucket at the gate, with all proceeds going directly to the families of the injured Remsen St. Mary’s players. This is our opportunity to come together as a basketball community, show compassion, and support these students and their families during an incredibly difficult time.

I am constantly reminded of the strength and character of our athletic community—how communities near and far can rally around one another, even when the tragedy is miles away. Moments like this truly highlight what it means to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, your leadership, and your willingness to model empathy for our athletes. Please help spread the word and encourage others to support this important cause.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference."

We will have a donation bucket out at our basketball quad tonight at the concession stand that we will take down to Rivalry Saturday as a contribution from the Turkey Valley Basketball Team and Community.

Reminder of FFA Breakfast tomorrow at the Waucoma Event Center from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Thank you for supporting our FFA chapter! #TVPride

Iowa Big North (IBN) received a grant from the TVEF to purchase a computer for their work on initiatives, and the IBN students are grateful. Per one of the student leads on this initiative: "Everyone in the program was really excited about getting a new computer. The new computer has made giving presentations so much easier. We, as a class, look forward to using all the applications this computer has to offer. It will help us build a successful program for students in the future."

Starting tonight at the JH Girls Basketball game we will be accepting cash or credit/debit card at the admission gate AND at the concession stand. Both options will be available throughout the basketball season. Tickets can also be purchased ahead of time on Bound if you would like.

Turkey Valley is looking for a 5-12 Band Teacher:

December brings a special visitor to kindergarten. Both kindergarten classes were visited by Merry Backes. Merry, known as "Grandma Merry" to the kindergarten students, gave each and every kindergarten student a reading pillow, along with an activity book, story book, and colored pencils. Merry, a talented seamstress, made the pillows and considerately chose fabric designs that appeal to this age group. This marks Merry's ninth year for this tradition, which began 8 years ago when her oldest grandson was a student in kindergarten. Merry's grandson's, Lewie and Jack, joined in to celebrate this special tradition. Thank you, Merry, for your generosity and also for promoting the love of reading. #TVPride
