This week was the @nsaahome Fall Officials Appreciation week. Last night, the Southern Valley Student Council presented our officials & line judges with a treat as we recognize them for their willingness to serve the athletes of Nebraska High School Athletics.
Miss Tina is a paraprofessional on the elementary side here at Southern Valley. She also is a bus driver for preschool kids. Lastly, she is the head trap coach. She has known since high school that she wanted to work in a school system but didnāt get into education until she came to SV 9 years ago. Her favorite thing about working here is the kids. She loves their free spirits and innocence. Out of the three jobs she does here, she has trouble picking her favorite between being a para or the trap coach. On one hand, she loves being with the kids while being a para, but she equally enjoys getting to hang out with the JH and HS school students. She, however, dislikes being a bus driver the most. It is a job that forces her to wake up early and get home late, but she does still enjoy it. Thank you, Miss Tina, for being an essential part of our school!
Thank you Ms Amy and Pumpkin Corners for donating a pumpkin to our classroom! We are excited to decorate it for the holiday! š

What a beautiful morning it was for 5th graders to have a safety demonstration put on by Twin Valleys Public Power District! We can't thank them enough for taking the time to share about safety around electrical lines! The students loved taking a ride in the bucket truck as well!
Thanks to the kitchen staff, the HS snack cart today looks AMAZING!! We are so fortunate at Southern Valley to be able to provide these snacks free of charge to our students.

Southern Valley Staff Shout Out to Mr. Richard McDonald. He is going on his 7th year teaching science and coaching at SV. He is also the FCA sponsor. His favorite lesson to teach is natural hazard mitigation. He also enjoys teaching chemistry. While coaching, he enjoys watching his players grow and challenging them to get better. After winning the RPAC tournament, Coach McDonald enjoyed seeing the pure joy on his athletesā faces after achieving one of their goals. He also really enjoyed the state basketball tournament this last season. His favorite part about teaching is that no one day is the same; every day is different and unique. His wife, Emily McDonald is Southern Valleyās School Psychologist, and his son Ben is a preschooler at SV.
Gabby wanted to eat outside with friends for her S.O.A.R. ticket reward. Thanks for being a great example for others!
The elementary students had a day full of learning about fire safety and prevention, thanks to the Oxford Volunteer Fire Department. We can't thank them enough for coming out to educate us and they also brought treats for the students.
The SV Eagles rally back to win a 5 set thriller over Alma tonight!!
The Eagles will return to action Thursday night when Maywood-Hayes Center visits the Nest.
