Show Volume XVII Issue XVI The Ogden Valley news Page 13 February 15, 2010 SERVE TO SAVE DINNER SLATED Valley Elementary would like to announce the Sixth Annual Valley Elementary “Serve to Save” dinner! Attend this incredible fundraising event and enjoy music by Bamberger Express (Doug Taggart, Eric Storey, and Richard Evans). Fine dining will be provided by The Timbermine, The Greenery, Gray Cliff Lodge, The Oaks, Eats of Eden, Alpine Pizza, Double Diamond Grill and Bar, Carlos and Harley’s Fresh-Mex Cantina, Harley and Buck’s Grille, Snowbasin, Jackson Fork, and Texas Pride. Are you drooling yet? Your dinner will be an epicurean delight! Dine on succulent chicken, prime rib, garlic potatoes, vegetables, salad, Mormon muffins, bread sticks, and apple crisp or brownies topped with premium ice cream. It gets even better! The sixth-grade students will wait on tables, and there will be a silent auction. Will your business donate to the event of the year as Post Asphalt, K.K. Booth Design Jewelry, and Eats of Eden have already done? This is a memorable evening for all ages that you won’t want to miss. Valley Elementary School sixth grade students host the event each year to address relief efforts for many organizations. For tickets, come to Valley Elementary School in Eden, or send a check in an envelope through the mail or with a student. Your ticket can be held at the door the evening of the Serve to Save! event. Make your check out as a $25 donation, per each dinner ticket, to the United Way. Designate on the check’s memo line which organization you’d like your donation to be given to—the Philippine Learning Center, St. Benedict’s Group, Lydia Christiansen Fund, or Safety Net. United Way will divide the donations as per instructions on the memo line of each check. First money received equals a meal ticket until tickets are gone. Remember, this is not just a 6th grade activity; we need everyone to come and support the event! One hundred percent of all donations go to these fine charities; there are no overhead costs. The Serve to Save! event will be held Thursday, March 25 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Valley Elementary school gymnasium. The silent auction will begin at 5:30 p.m. In addition to raising charitable funds, the event is held to provide sixth-grade students with a myriad of leadership skills—from greeting guests to leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Students decorate the gym, plan the table layouts, learn to bus and wait tables, usher patrons to their tables, and come to know that 6th graders, too, can make a great deal of good happen in their community.

WSU PROGRAM cont. from page 1 but in order to qualify for the free tuition, students need to file the appropriate financial aid paperwork before March 1. Applicants will need to complete additional WSU paperwork prior to March 15. Under the program, students still may have to pay for books and fees out of pocket. “We plan to raise additional funds to make Dream Weber an ongoing program,” said Millner. University officials hope the new program will encourage prospective students, especially first-generation college students, to look in to financial aid opportunities and start thinking about pursuing a college degree. In addition to the household income and Utah resident requirements, students must qualify for federal (Pell Grant) financial aid to be eligible. Dream Weber students will be required to carry a full course load of at least 12 credits. A student can receive an award for up to eight semesters—long enough to complete a bachelor’s degree. Both current and prospective students are eligible to apply if they meet the requirements. University officials estimate that as many as 1,800 students would qualify for the assistance.

WSU administrators say the goal is to make higher education accessible to students from socioeconomic backgrounds that wouldn’t typically pursue higher education because of a lack of financial resources. “Financial hardship shouldn’t be an impediment to pursuing a college education,” said Provost Michael Vaughan. “This program is WSU’s commitment to helping provide entry-level access to higher education; Weber State is proud of its long track record of serving the community college role for northern Utah.” Recent studies show a growing correlation between access to education and personal income. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the lifetime earning potential for Americans with a college diploma was nearly double that of their counterparts without a degree. “Higher education is vitally important to the economic prosperity of our state,” said Utah Lt. Gov. Greg Bell, who also spoke at Tuesday’s announcement. “I applaud Weber State University for taking this innovative approach to ensure that financial limitations do not prevent Utah residents from pursuing a college education.” The new program will begin in fall 2010, I Love TeachingquiteAward Given good, and as a teacher, if you have a prob- By Michael Wendell, Valley Elementary Student Reporter lem you can come and ask her for help.
