Our goal this Giving Tuesday is to raise $1000 for an additional scholarship for the Class of 2026! Surprise Valley kids may be isolated and far from many urban opportunities, but they work hard, dream big, and deserve the best!  Your support means so much and is felt right here in Surprise Valley. Thank you!
