The Sound By student reporters Maria Rague, Emma Satterthwaite, and Morgan Howe On Friday, November 18, the Advanced Band from Snowcrest Junior High School’s orchestra came to Valley Elementary to perform their music for the fifth and sixth graders. At the erformance, Valley students received an invitation to join the band. They had to fill out the invitation and return it to the school office. The band, including the new students, will start rehearsals after school on December 1. This will be an incredible experience for fifth and sixth grade students. If the students or parents have any questions about the band program, Snowcrest Jr. High 8th Grade Health students and volunteers help clear debris from roadside. On Friday, November 18, the Snowcrest Jr. High 8th Grade Health classes dotted the highway with bright orange vests as they picked up litter between Snowcrest and the Yacht Club. The health classes at Snowcrest have taken on this project every fall and spring for the last six years. It was especially nice for them this year to have a paved path to walk on for part of the clean-up. In addition to the section of highway they have adopted between Maverick and the Yacht Club, they also picked up garbage between Snowcrest and the four way stop, and on over toward the North Arm Trailhead. The project helped the students realize how important it is to put garbage in trash bins where it belongs. The project also helped students to take pride iin keeping our Valley the beautiful place that it is. Mrs. Baker stated that she wanted to give thanks to all the students and parents who have helped with this project throughout the last six years. The Health classat Snowcrest will continue to do their part to keep our Valley clean and beautiful, and challenges all Valley residents to do the same.

The 6th grade students (those who came up with the idea) said, “We didn’t have the idea until Mrs. Evans told us about Lori Jones who had some friends who lived in the apartments that burned down.” When we realized what the students at the school could do, we decided we should start donating things.
