Meadows Valley School Volunteers...Make a Difference Everyday! During the holiday season and throughout the entire year, Meadows Valley School is fortunate enough to have many wonderful community members that care greatly about the students and the overall welfare of the school.  We would like to take a moment to thank the numerous volunteers that spend countless hours and extend an enormous amount of energy to the betterment of our school.  Without these people, we would not be able to offer as much one on one contact time with students and certain programs would not be available.  Volunteers are invaluable assets to all of us and we would like to acknowledge the very special people that give their time to Meadows Valley School.  We recognize the following regular volunteers and also would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who volunteers, whether for a few moments or for many hours. We appreciate all that you do.

Thank you volunteers! Hidee Anyan Barb Bussolini Claudia Bentz Jerri Cooper Bob Doyle Cameron Flaming Debbie Flaming Jerry Frederick Brenda Huebert Meagan Martinez Lewis McLin Dixie Noyes-Jeffs

A Special Thanks to all Meadows Valley Volunteers!   Meet Claudia Bentz.
