A Message from the Valley View Athletic Boosters

This is an exciting time for Spartan athletics! The Valley View Athletic Department has been self-funding for almost its entire history.

With the exception of 1983, Spartan athletes, along with the help and support of the community, have paid their own way throughout the years.

A natural next step is the installation of a synthetic, multi-use field that will serve both the school district and community.

We hope you will share in our excitement and join in support of the Valley View Athletic Boosters' Field of Pride project! A field using cutting-edge technology and top-of-the-line materials will be a point of pride within the community for many years to come.

Your donation to this effort will help us fund the project in a timely manner. Thank you for helping to make today's dream, tomorrow's reality.
