Mr. Byxbe hosted our final Site Council Meeting of the year at West Valley High School. The meeting included a guided campus tour that allowed parents, local business owners, and community members to see the great resources available to our students. There were stops all throughout the school, including the indoor batting cages, the new CTE construction course, welding, and the PAC, where a live FFA meeting took place and students voted on their next officer team.

The group also toured the school's Barn, where FFA students worked with their market lambs on showmanship and showing off fair projects. Many guests were surprised by some of the facilities and programs they hadn't seen before.

During the tour, there was a great conversation about upcoming improvements and ideas for future changes. Some of the school's history was also shared, helping connect the past with the plans ahead.

It was a great way to engage the community, and there's strong interest in offering a campus tour like this once a year.

Mrs. Reyher’s Ceramics class has partnered with Mrs. Nibert’s 1st-grade class at North Cottonwood Elementary for a special creative project. High school students are transforming the first graders’ monster drawings into three-dimensional sculptures — a surprise for the young artists!

The sculptures will be delivered on May 19th during first period. Mr. Byxbe, Mrs. Reyher, and participating students will visit North Cottonwood to personally hand over the completed monsters.

This project has been a fun and meaningful collaboration between schools, highlighting creativity, connection, and community spirit.
