Turkey Valley Community School District

Today is National College Decision Day 2026 for our seniors. This is the day they declare their plans after high school. We wish our seniors the best of luck as they leave the halls of Turkey Valley to pursue their dreams of higher education at Winona State University, University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Indian Hills, UNI, Kirkwood, Hawkeye Community College, NICC, and ISU or entering the workforce or enlisting in the National Guard. Good luck seniors! #TVPride

Today we celebrate School Lunch Hero Day and recognize the incredible dedication of our cafeteria staff, who are already hard at work making sure our students are cared for and ready to learn. From early mornings preparing breakfast to serving lunch, they play an essential role in our school each and every day. They ensure that every child has access to the nourishment they need to grow, focus, and succeed. Their work fuels not only our students’ bodies, but also their minds, helping them stay energized and ready to take on the day. Thank you for everything you do behind the scenes and on the front lines to make a difference for our students every single day! #TVPride

Today we celebrate School Principals Day and recognize the incredible leadership, dedication, and heart that Mrs. Hoy brings to our school every single day. Her commitment to supporting students, staff, and the entire school community does not go unnoticed. She leads with positivity, strength, and a genuine care that helps make our school a place where everyone can succeed and feel valued.

We are truly grateful for all she does behind the scenes and in the spotlight to keep things running smoothly and to inspire excellence in all of us. Mrs. Hoy, we appreciate you more than words can express and hope your day is filled with the recognition you deserve! If you see her today, take a moment to share your thanks and brighten her day even more. #TVPride

Finally, May has arrived which means it is time to spotlight each of our seniors. Each day we will celebrate a couple of our seniors. To start with they received their caps and gowns on Tuesday and did the traditional walk through the halls. Hopefully the gowns are now safely at home hanging up to release all the wrinkles. Enjoy the last few days you have in Turkey Valley Class of 2026! #TVPride

We cannot let School Bus Driver Appreciation Day end without acknowledging our amazing drivers that deliver our students safely every day to and from school, drive for activities and sporting events, take our students on field trips, and meet all our transportation needs through snow, sleet, rain, sunshine, mushy gravel roads, around road construction, and every other situation Iowa weather throws at us. Thank you Tyler Schwade, Jim Mihm, Marsha Wenthold, Jennie Reicks, Liz Nieman-Simmons, Kurt Huinker, and Chuck Hadacek!!! Also, thank you to our substitute drivers and coaches who help out as needed! #TVPride

In recognition of National Library Week, students added a leaf to this tree. They suggested one of their favorite books and posted a note to our librarian about the services we have in our AMAZING library. Thank you, Mrs. Johansen, for making the library a favorite spot for our students and sharing your passion for reading. We'll borrow the words of Dolly Parton as a way to express the importance of your work you do at Turkey Valley Community School: "The seeds of dreams are often found in books, and the seed you help plant in your community can grow across the world". Please leave a comment with the title of one of your favorite books that you think our students would enjoy! #TVPride
