Snowcrest PTO Snowcrest Fundraiser a Success Thanks to Volunteers On May 9, the Snowcrest PTO launched its new yearly fundraiser—the Snowcrest Relay. It was a success! As usual, Valley residents supported our efforts in spades. Your support never ceases to amaze me. As a parent of two students, I wanted to thank everyone who came, ran, played, and enjoyed. There were so many hands that made this possible. However, there was one set of hands I’d like to specifically mention– Natalie Post’s. I’m sure she’d prefer that I didn’t write this, but I’m going to anyway. To use a favorite phrase of my 11-year-old daughter, “What she did was GINORMOUS!” With babies in tow, Natalie set in motion a fundraiser that will benefit Snowcrest for years to come. Thank you Natalie. Thank you for your kind, gentle form of leadership that made it easy for all of us to follow and succeed! Thank you for your wonderful example. I thoroughly enjoy working with you. Laura Warburton, Huntsville Snowcrest’s Ragnar Relay—Great fun for a great cause! I want to thank Ragnar Relays and Snowcrest Junior High for a wonderful event held Saturday, May 9. Teams of all sizes, ages, and fitness levels came together to run, jog, walk, and scoot a total of fifteen miles each to raise money for Snowcrest Jr. High. I loved seeing how the community and volunteers came together, not only to support a local school, but to champion a physically fit lifestyle and to compete together in a Miller, Dawson, Collin show of soli(top row), Matt, and Wendy darity.

The child-safe course, inflatable jumping activities, organized checkin, goodie bags with NordicTrack T-shirts and other cool items, and fun trophy ceremony all made it a memorable event for everyone involved. I also want to give Ogden Valley residents a shout out for their enthusiasm in this event. Taking advantage of the great cause and terrific weather, great-grandparents, babies, and everyone in-between showed their team spirit. People dressed up as the “Grease” gang, Rainbow Bright, Bearded Ladies, and as other such zanies! They cheered on their teams with pyramids, silly songs, and Costco-sized bags of Starbursts. The Valley is abuzz with compliments about this event, and I hope Snowcrest Jr. High, the Ragnar Relay team, and all the awesome sponsors will decide to do it again next year. I know my family is already looking forward Kate Barrong and to it! Brooklyn Burton share Wendy Toliver, Starbursts with Brayden Roberts.
