from Jeff Calden
Happy Friday!
This is the old wooden sign that was in front of the High School from the time SLVHS opened until it was hit by a car over a decade ago.
It was replaced by a more modern sign, which was then hit by a truck a few months ago.
When the new sign was destroyed, our maintenance crew took on the job of refurbishing the old sign, which was damaged and in disrepair, as you can see below.
The sign is up once again and looks fantastic on the rock wall base. Kudos to our amazing maintenance team for their spectacular work.
What's old is new again and for those of us that have been around here a while, it's pretty cool to see that old wooden sign back out in front of the High School.

No School On Monday - Martin Luther King Jr. National Holiday
The rest of the week is normal: Monday - No School / Tuesday O / Wednesday E / Thursday O / Friday E
SLV High students have competed in this contest for many years, some going on from our local contest to the County and State level.
The contest involves writing a four-to-five minute speech on a specific Rotary topic and then delivering that speech at an SLV Rotary Meeting in Boulder Creek.
This year's topic is: Serve to Change Lives
The members of SLV Rotary judge the speeches on specific guidelines and award three cash prizes:
$200 for 1st place, $100 for 2nd place, and $50 for 3rd place. The winner has the opportunity to compete at higher levels for more prize money.
The Speech Contest will be held on Thursday, February 24th at 7:00 pm at Scopazzi's Restaurant in Boulder Creek.
Anyone interested in being part of the contest must contact me at [email protected] by February 7th and provide me with the information stated on the flier.
I will also meet briefly with all contestants to go over the rules and theme of the contest.
Semester Two Report Cards
Due to changes in the days the Post Office will deliver bulk mail, report cards will be mailed early next week.
This new variant, combined with the cold weather and coming back from vacation, has caused a larger number of positive cases on campus than we have previously experienced. We will continue to test all exposures in order to keep the campus as safe as possible as we move forward. Please continue to be vigilant about wearing your mask inside, and consider keeping yourself even more protected by wearing your mask outside when around other people.
If you currently have any symptoms, even minor ones, please get a test ASAP and do not come to school. Please call the attendance line to let us know, and do your best to get tested at the County Office of Education or any other free local testing site, such as CVS, Walgreens, Mountain Community Resources. There is a list of Testing Resources below
We want to be smart and vigilant as we move forward. If you are sick or showing symptoms, stay home from school, get tested, and let us know what your situation is so we can support you. Students coming to school with symptoms will create more positive cases on our campus and nobody wants that.
Symptoms of COVID include: Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, Nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea, Trouble breathing, Persistent pain or pressure in the chest.
Thank you in advance for supporting the safety of our students, staff, families, and the valley community.
