This year â 2020 â has been especially tough on many businesses and community members. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to close at times and curtail their services.
Students and teachers are having to learn and teach remotely, and student-athletes may have to wait until spring to start their sports season.
We appreciate our community â more now than ever â for their continued vigilance and support.
The winners of the Best of Valencia Contest were voted on by our readers. We thank everyone who participated, and congratulate all the winners of this yearâs contest.

âWeâre not all on the same page, and that is not an easy undertaking but we know that a unit is stronger than the individual,â Sanchez said. âWe need to look at the best practices throughout the district, take those best practices and share them. Iâm a big believer in collaboration.â
Collaboration at all levels will make sure students are growing, and it has to include all the stakeholders, the new superintendent said.
âWe need to talk to parents, we need to talk to our business members within the community, we need to talk to our students,â he said.
