Friday 11/28 No Athletic Events Saturday 11/29 MS Wrestling Scrimmage (Away) @ Miamisburg - 8:00am HS Wrestling Scrimmage (Away) @ Carlisle - 9:00am News and Notes HS Football -  The Varsity football season came to an end on Friday after losing to #1 seed Indian Hill in the Regional Final. After an exciting 1st quarter that saw an Anthony Valenti receiving touchdown from Brody Gibbs and an electric kickoff return touchdown from Isaac Johnson, the Spartans were outscored in the final 3 quarters. The Spartans finished their season with a record of 11-2, as SWBL Champs and Regional Runner-ups. We are proud of the entire team for a great season.  HS Girls Basketball -  Valley View used a balanced offensive effort and timely fourth-quarter execution to defeat Monroe 49–43 on Saturday afternoon in their season opener. Valley View jumped ahead 18–12 after the first quarter, but Monroe battled back, holding the Spartans to just three points in the second to take a 21–20 lead into halftime. The game remained close throughout the third, with Valley View regaining a narrow 33–31 advantage before sealing the victory in the final eight minutes. Valley View had a deep, balanced scoring attack featuring eight players in the scoring column. Jordan DeGroat led the Spartans with 10 points and seven rebounds, while Brelynn Riley and Avi Stevens provided a key lift with eight points each. Riley knocked down two threes, and Stevens added six rebounds and two assists. Paisley Phillips contributed seven points, and Ava Gehron and Kaylee Sargent each added six, with Gehron hitting a pair of threes and Sargent going 2-for-3 from deep. Defensively, Valley View’s pressure made the difference as the Spartans collected 12 steals and forced 20 Monroe turnovers. The JV also won their opener with a 30-16 victory, led by Carleigh Henson with 17 points.  HS Bowling -  The girls’ varsity bowling team opened their season with an impressive victory over Franklin on Wednesday, finishing with a commanding score of 1433–961. The team was led by Kim Braden, who posted a strong two-game total of 259. Morrigan Horner and Jill Kagy also delivered solid performances that helped secure the win. This year’s newcomers made an immediate impact as well—Peyton Thompson rolled a 119, and Shyann Thompson followed with a 120 in their first official match.  The Valley View High School Boys Bowling Team kicked off their season opener with an impressive performance that earned them a strong victory over Franklin High School.  The Spartans consistent performance earned them a team total of 1,990 pins to Franklin’s 1,474 pins. Senior Noah Handy ignited the match with a blazing 247 and 220, earning him the high series of the night.  Fellow senior Chris Ryczek kept the momentum rolling with games of 197 and 196. Sophomore Paxton Garrett stepped up in a big way, contributing a strong 363 series and showcasing the depth of the Spartan roster. October MS Athletes of the Month Congratulations to our October MS Athletes of the Month sponsored by First National Bank of Germantown. Pictured are Aiden Wilson (8th Grade, Boys Cross Country), Middle School Principal Valorie Jones, Heidi Grant President/CEO of First National Bank of Germantown, and Valley View Director of Athletics Michael Rasey. Also pictured are Klaire Hogg (8th Grade Volleyball), Middle School Assistant Principal Denny Shepherd, Heidi Grant President/CEO of First National Bank of Germantown and Valley View Director of Athletics Michael Rasey. We appreciate First National Bank of Germantown for all their support of Valley View Athletics. Aiden Wilson (8th, Boys Cross Country) Coach Kasperski’s comments: “Aiden has taken a big step forward in his maturity and understanding of the competitive distance that he participates within this year. He has led the Jr High Boys in each of their meets this season, most recently turning in a time of 11:51 for 2-miles at the Brookville CC Invite. Good enough for 8th place overall in a field of 258. This was his first time breaking the 12 minute barrier in the event. Aiden asks great questions and is very interested in improving as a distance runner. I have had conversations with him about competition at a much more mature level than his age would suggest. This is very promising for the future. He is off to  a great early-season  start and I expect things to improve further as we prepare for the middle of the season.” Klaire Hogg (8th Grade Volleyball) Coach Feltz’s comments: “Klaire was chosen by her peers as one of the team captains.  She works hard everyday and keeps a positive attitude.  She has acquired 26 points for the Valley View 8th Grade volleyball team; those points came from 8 aces,   10 great passes, 14 attacks, 2 kills, and 4 tips.” Download the Spartan Mobile App Our Valley View Spartan mobile app is designed to keep students, parents, and community members connected to the latest district athletic events and information.

Valenti scored on runs of 5, 52 and 5 yards, finishing with 76 yards on only five carries to help the Spartans seize control after a 14-7 halftime lead. Valley View rushed for 246 yards and never turned the ball over, while holding the Eagles to just 35 rushing yards and dominating time of possession 31:58 to 10:23. Valley View struck first midway through the opening quarter when Valenti capped a drive with a 5-yard touchdown run to give the Spartans a 7-0 lead. CHCA responded early in the second quarter when Griffin Ridner-Richard scrambled in from 12 yards out, tying it at 7-7 with 7:58 left in the half. But the Spartans answered less than five minutes later as Brodie Hopkins punched in a 12-yard touchdown run for a 14-7 advantage at the break. Valley View imposed its will in the third quarter, blowing the game open on Valenti’s long 52-yard touchdown sprint with 7:20 remaining, then adding another 5-yard score just over two minutes later for a 28-7 lead. Gavin Phillips added a 24-yard field goal early in the fourth to push the margin to three possessions. CHCA scored late to close the gap, finishing with 118 passing yards but committing three turnovers, including two interceptions. The Spartans, who averaged 5.9 yards per carry, also received 79 rushing yards from Tristan Smith and 43 from quarterback Brody Gibbs, who completed 4 of 10 passes. Valenti wasn’t just an offensive star — he also hauled in two receptions for 51 yards and snagged an interception defensively. HS Girls Basketball -  Congratulations to Rivers Lemke, Paisley Phillips, and Jordan DeGroat for being recognized by the Jim Dabbelt Report as the Dayton top 125 girls' basketball players in the area. Paisley Phillips and Rivers Lemke were also recognized as part of the Miami Valley Super 60. Info for Friday Night Spirit Bus If students do not have a ride to the game, they can sign up to ride the student spirit bus. Students can sign up on Parent Square from the post sent out by the Athletic Department. All students must be signed up by the end of the day on Thursday. Any student who signs up for the student spirit bus will receive a complimentary ticket thanks to the Athletic Boosters. We will need a staff member to chaperone this.  Community send off The football buses will be departing from behind the old HS at roughly 4:15. We encourage community members to begin showing up to send off the players and coaches at 4:00. We ask these adults to please park in the large south parking lot at the old HS.  Friday Night Theme We are going to host a community wide theme for Friday Night of Navy Blue.

September HS Athletes of the Month Congratulations to students Anthony Valenti and Madison Schmidt who were recipients of the September  Edward Jones athletes of the month award.  Pictured are Anthony Valenti (Senior, Football)  and Madison Schmidt (Junior, Girls Soccer), Edward Jones Financial Advisor Chris Slattery and Valley View Director of Athletics Michael Rasey.  Valley View would like to thank  Edward Jones in Germantown and their staff for their continued support of Valley View Athletics. Anthony Valenti (Senior, Football) Coach King’s comments: “Anthony does it all for us.  Offense, defense, special teams, team captain.  He is a coach on the field and is always a huge part of our success regardless of if he has had a good statistical game or not.  He is a three year starter and will be a four year letter winner.  High character.” Madison Schmidt (Junior, Girls Soccer) Coach Barnett’s comments: “Maddie is our most technically skilled player and has been able to use her prowess to direct our midfield through this season.  She has also been ruthless and accurate on her delivery of free kicks and corners to establish herself, also, as a set piece specialist.  She finished our regular season with eleven goals, but more impressively, she has shattered the team record for assists in a season with eighteen.  Those 18 assists placed her atop the SWBL in that category and she is now well on pace to reach the Valley View record for career assists next season.” Download the Spartan Mobile App Our Valley View Spartan mobile app is designed to keep students, parents, and community members connected to the latest district athletic events and information.

It was an overall success, providing students with valuable opportunities to explore their next steps after high school. Unfortunately, due to the weather, most of the school-organized Community Service was cancelled. But students still had opportunities designed to help them plan for the future, including school-community service, job shadowing, and exploring post-secondary options with a Wright State Field trip, self-guided college tours, or college tours by appointment. Other students chose an ACT test prep session or the ASVAB test. Additionally, many students attended a career fair hosted at the High School. We were honored to welcome exceptional guest presenters, including representatives from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, the Germantown Rescue Squad, Judge Alice Rettich, and the RTA. Thank you to everyone who made this day of career and college exploration a great experience for our students!     "Little Women" Our Drama Department, under the direction of esteemed retired teacher Dawn Gunther, presents "Little Women."

Valley View was well represented in both the Men’s and Women’s 5000m competition. Senior Addy Abner started the day for VV, and she started strong.  Finishing with an all-time personal record of 18:38, this time re-sets the Valley View women’s record, previously set last year at the same meet! Addy was able to make the podium with a 9th place finish, earning first team All Ohio honors. This performance is the best finish by a Valley View athlete at XC State, led the representation of the SWBL on the podium, and improved upon her 20th place finish last year during the Div 2 state meet. Addy finishes the season as the 60th ranked Ohio woman over 5k across all divisions! On the men’s side, Aaron Geswein capped his outstanding sophomore season with a very solid performance and a 58th placement overall.

  • This Week's View for October 31, 2025

    Included in this District Newsletter for October 31, 2025 🎃 Two-Hour Delay Information Environmental Science Field Trip Parent Recognition Procedures for Student Absence Spartan Way Winners After-Prom Fundraiser Free & Reduced Lunch Link   High School Students Dive into Real-World Science at Germantown Dam A recent event highlighting the importance of the Germantown Dam and an overview of the restoration of the conduits provides an incredible learning opportunity for our Environmental Science and AP Environmental Science students. Mr. Heistand and his students learned of the critical role the Miami Conservancy District’s 100-plus-year-old flood protection system plays in safeguarding the Twin Creek valley. The event also featured several stations designed to provide real-world insights into flood control and hydrology: Hydrology: Students visited the Streamgage house to learn how data is collected to monitor river conditions and manage the floodgates. Preventing Dam Failure: This station covered the inner workings of the dam, including the need for concrete rehabilitation. Learning that the estimated cost to rehabilitate the concrete is over $12 million and that the frequency of flood storage has increased by 228% since the 1930s drives home the urgency of infrastructure maintenance. History and Construction: Exploring the dam's construction era (completed in November 1920) and learning about the 212 total storage events that have occurred at the Germantown Dam alone provides historical context. Expert Talks: Students had the opportunity to chat with the Chief Engineer, Don O'Connor, about the system's status, ongoing projects, and the future of flood protection Equipment: a variety of equipment was there, including the RC mower used to mow the extreme slopes of the earth dam. It was a great opportunity for our students! And, as a bonus, they had a free lunch from The Hamburger Wagon!   Celebrating Parents Valley View has launched a Parent Recognition Initiative as part of our MTSS Tier 1 universal supports to strengthen the home-school connection and celebrate collaborative behaviors that benefit all students. District staff are encouraged to nominate parents who demonstrate one or more of the following: Productive, positive communication Consistent conference attendance and collaboration Volunteering (cafeteria, Spartan Guardians, etc.) School donations and PTO participation Positive presence at school events Active support of school initiatives Other worthy acts of partnership Selected nominees will receive one free admission to a sporting event, public recognition, and the gratitude of the school community! Valley View Parents of the Month for October 2025 This month, we highlight these parents whose actions support student success: VVES parent Bridgett Lakes is an exceptional parent volunteer who consistently goes above and beyond, frequently donating supplies, helping the classroom, and bringing treats for students and teachers alike. Her support for the school community is greatly appreciated. VVMS parent Lauren Slattery has been proactive in communicating with teachers and the school staff. We appreciate her constant positive advocacy for her child and all students.  VVHS parent Liz Handy has had three sons go through Valley View, and she always communicates positively with their teachers. She volunteers countless hours to support them and their peers in extracurricular activities. Liz always has a positive attitude and a smile!   Does Your Student Have an Appointment? We know it's not always possible to make appointments outside of the school day, so when you need to pick up your student, best practice is to call ahead or send a note in with your student.
