Valley High School (Las Vegas, NV) Class of 1971

09/11/2026

This library desk was designed for parents who cannot simply leave their toddlers at home.

At Fairfield Area Library in Henrico County, Virginia, four unusual computer stations allow caregivers to work online while keeping an infant or young toddler safely within arm’s reach.

Each station combines a standard computer desk with an attached, enclosed play area featuring child-friendly activity panels and a low mirror. A parent can complete schoolwork, submit a job application or access online services without repeatedly turning away to check on their child.

The concept was developed by library staff with the building’s design team before the new Fairfield library opened in 2019. It addressed a problem staff had observed for years: caregivers struggling to use public computers while holding or supervising small children.

A photo of the stations went viral in January 2022, introducing the idea to people around the world. The project later received a National Association of Counties Achievement Award and additional recognition for innovation in local government.

It is a small design change, but one that makes knowledge and opportunity more accessible to parents.

Sometimes innovation isn’t about making technology more advanced. It’s about designing everyday spaces around the people who actually use them.

Valley High School Class of ’71 — We’d Love Your Input!

We are still considering Saturday, November 14, 2026, for our 55th Class Reunion and would like to know how many classmates are interested in attending. The October dates were not working for having the venue.

We are not asking for a firm commitment just yet—we’re simply trying to determine whether there is enough interest to move forward with plans for that date. Please leave a comment or send us a message to let us know if November 14 will work for you. Please comment below it is crucial we know if we have enough classmates wanting to attend so we can secure the venue.

You may also notice that our reunion website is currently offline. Don’t worry—it’s only temporary while we update the site with the latest information. We’ll let everyone know as soon as it is back online.

We hope to hear from you soon—and please help spread the word to classmates who may not see this post.

VALLEY VIKINGS of ’71 — should we gather again? 55th REUNION

A few classmates have asked about planning a 55th reunion dinner this October in Las Vegas. So many were unable to attend the 50th, and we would love the chance to reconnect with as many classmates as possible.
The idea being discussed is simple: a good dinner, a comfortable setting, a reasonable price, and plenty of time for real conversation. No big production — just old friends, shared memories, and a chance to catch up.
Because many classmates will be traveling, this would be planned for a weekend. We are looking especially at the weekend of October 10th, since it may work well with the holiday weekend for some.
Before anything is finalized, we’d love to know how many classmates might be interested.
Would you attend a Valley High Class of ’71 55th Reunion Dinner in Las Vegas the weekend of October 10th?
Please comment below with:�“Interested” if you would consider attending�“Maybe” if you’d like more details first
Once we have a better idea of interest, we can look at location, cost, and final details.
After all, we may have graduated in ’71… but we’re still young enough to enjoy a good meal, a good laugh, and a little time together.

Please any comments. We ( the 55th planning team ) want to hear from you.

It has been suggested that we start having an annual dinner, as we are all aging.

I think this is a delightful idea, but I live in Long Beach, CA and am no longer familiar with the restaurants in town.

If you know of a good restaurant that we can rest a private room from, that would be ideal.

If you have any ideas about locations or even would be interested in attending, please respond.

So... I don't know if this will get flagged for removal by the Facebook bots, but I just started a sale in my Etsy shop on 15 oz coffee mugs for Valentines Day and birthdays: https://johnsteesandmore.etsy.com

Might be of interest.

The Raiders have rolled up their sleeves over the past four seasons — since their relocation from Oakland was made official — to help Las Vegas area high school programs, especially those in at-risk communities like Valley.
