🎉 Excitement is in the air! Come join us at Valor South Austin PSO's Fall Fest. This is one of our biggest fundraisers aimed at supporting our students and staff and we can't wait to see you there!
It is a wonderful community-building event with activities for all ages. It includes booths with prizes for kids, bounce houses, climbing walls, dunk tanks, food trucks, and raffles. All proceeds go directly back to the school to enhance the learning environment for
our students and support our teachers and staff.
