Valley School R.I.P

The word on the street is that Valley School, the old part, built in 1958, you know the hall where our lockers were, is going down as soon as this school year ends. That's right, no more 5th and 6th grade hall. No more gym or kitchen. No more Mr. Weight dancin' to "Sara". No more dodge ball or crab soccer or that parachute thing. They are shipping 5th and 6th graders over to Snowcrest while they rebuild in the same spot. Imagine if you were in 7th grade looking forward to being in the big school and the 5th and 6th graders follow you. It's going to be so crowded. My husband teaches Spanish over at Snowcrest. Yes, he took over for Mrs. O'Hara who retired just two years ago. He said they're going to bring in a bunch of portables, but they will use 3 or 4 classrooms inside. Since they're losing the kitchen they are going to "cook" the food at Snowcrest and run it over to Valley for the rest of the students. Sounds like a mess to me. Then again, didn't we fit nine grades over at valley? I'm just tellin' you what I heard.....
