Deer Creek students, faculty and family members cut the ribbon this week on the district’s fourth elementary school.
Debbie Straughn is the principal of the school, the theme of which is to “Discover the World.”
Members of each of the school’s six grades - kindergarten through fifth - presented items to be included in a special time capsule which will be opened in 2022. Grove Valley is located at 3500 N.W. 192nd St.
