Show Page 16 The OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Volume II, Issue III December 1999 Student News Hello Dolly A Success!!! By: Sally Knowles Again Weber High has put on a smashing school play! Every year the school puts on a musical, such as last year’s, which was “West Side Story.” They have also performed many others such as “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and “The Music Man.” This year the play was “Hello Dolly.” Some of the people from the Valley who were in the play included: Dave Lee, Becca Ferrin, Heather Montgomery, Kate Wood, Katie Ipson, Charlotte Evans, and Candy Froerer. They all did the most wonderful job. The people that played main characters were the best! I especially liked Ernestina Money and Minnie Fay who were played by Josephine Munro and Emily Monson! If you didn’t get to see this year’s play then I feel really bad for you. Hello Dolly was a BIG success! Plan to attend next year. Sports News Youth Basketball Season to Continue The Valley had two basketball teams that played in the Weber County Tournament held December 6 through the 14—the sixth grade girl’s team coached by Tami Snider and the seventh grade girl’s team coached by Craig Oberg. Coaches Terry Miller and Rulon Jones, along with their teams, did a great job this season also. The basketball season will continue into the year 2000 with the girl’s program in January at Snowcrest Junior High. Boys, 5th – 12th grades will start their program in January also. They will be combining with Ogden City teams. Girls and boys coed teams, 3rd – 4th grades will start their second season in January. For more basketball information contact Kathy Allen at 745-2709. Scouting News “Scouting” For Food The Scouting for Food drive was a big success this year thanks to Valley residents who donated food for a worthy cause. Scout Troop #15 of Eden worked hard in November collecting and delivering bags of food to be distributed from local food banks. Hopefully it will make a positive difference this holiday season. Wood Working Class at Snowcrest Ever wonder what goes on down that dark hallway beyond the gym, the hallway that seems to disappear into nothingness? Few parents ever venture down that way, thinking that perhaps we will be entering a storage closet, or maybe even a torture chamber. There’s a woodshop back there . . . and a pretty nifty one too. It has just about anything that any budding carpenter would want: saws, sanders, lathes, and more wood glue than you can imagine. Mr. Carlson teaches 7th, 8th, and 9th graders the basics of construction and craftsmanship. The 7th graders get their feet wet in one “trimester” of their TLC class learning about designing and building bridges. Once their masterpiece is complete, they load pressure upon it to see just how much weight it can hold. The end result: everybody’s bridge is reduced to rubble. Cool! Mr. Carlson explains the Construction Systems class, “Students are taught the proper and safe use of hand tools, hand power tools, and shop machine tools all related to construction. After I go over the safe and proper use of each machine, I ask the students to build a couple of small projects that could be useful to them for years to come. These are safety warm-up projects. This school year the kids made small tool boxes and saw horses.” “After this, the students will build a small scaled down model house from the footings, up through the sheathing over the trusses. We spend one day a week in the classroom where we study and talk about the steps to build our project. The other four days we are in the shop ‘doing.’ I hope the kids enjoy this and that some may want to pursue this area of work.” Congratulations to Mr. David Jenkins We all know that our own Mr. Jenkins is a Science teacher “extraordinaire.” but now the secret is out. Mr. Jenkins has been recognized by Brigham Young University as the Secondary Education Biology Teacher of the Year for his creative and innovative approaches to teaching (of all things) Biology. You ask, “What’s so interesting about biology?“ Just ask any ninth grader about Jr. High Alimentary Canal Transport Times. They can tell you all about it. (Translation—How fast food travels from one end of the body to the other after you’ve eaten—Aren’t you glad you asked?) Oh, but that’s not all . . . Mr. Jenkins has also been named one of three finalists in the state to represent Utah for the President’s Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. Way to go Mr. Jenkins!
