Thank you to everyone who took time out of their morning to be part of such a fun tradition at CVE!

CENTRAL VALLEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Public Statement on All-American Publishing
January 29th, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Central Valley Public Schools’ Administration recently became aware of solicitations that some local businesses and patrons have received from a company called All-American Publishing. This company’s solicitations ask the recipient if they “would be interested in supporting Central Valley High School” by being represented on T-shirts that this company claims will be worn by students, faculty, and parents at all community events and during games.
We are concerned that All-American Publishing’s solicitations risk misleading our patrons into believing that a financial payment to this company will ultimately benefit the school district. That is not the case.
The school district does not have any contractual relationship with All-American Publishing. All-American Publishing does not make financial contributions to the school district.
We hope this statement clarifies the situation. If you have further questions, please contact Central Valley High School’s Principal Kimbrie Vlach at (308) 428-3145.
