Pascack Valley had its second Valley Cup of the 2024-25 school year on Nov. 27, 2024. The four grades competed in a relay, knockout, spikeball, and speedball.

During the relay, students had to eat a pie, compete in a potato sack race, do a three-legged race, and participate in a mattress diving event.

We spoke to members of all four class councils after Valley Cup concluded to hear their thoughts:
