Proud to be EV... Week of February 16-22, 2014

The week seemed to fly by at English Valleys~

On Monday there was no school due to inclement weather.

On Tuesday, we had a late start. Our junior high boys basketball had their last game of the season at home. The varsity basketball girls played their first regional basketball game at home. They played very well and defeated HLV.

On Wednesday our varsity basketball boys played their first regional game at Tri-County. Their season ended due to Tri-County winning that game. Our EV boys have improved throughout the season; I am looking forward to watching them again next year~



We sent three wrestlers to state this year: Zach Axmear, Sheldon Ealy, and Brennen Grimm. We held a pep rally at the end of the day Wednesday followed by a "send-off" in which the police and firemen led a caravan out of town. Zach placed 5th at state!


On Thursday, the FFA held a breakfast at 7:15 a.m. It was delicious! I am thankful to Mrs. Flander and her FFA group providing this~

On Friday, we ran on a 1 hour early out schedule in the afternoon so that the FFA could host "Ag Olympics". This was originally supposed to take place Thursday, but was pushed back to Friday due to the Kids Against Hunger Group postponing the meal packaging due to inclement weather. The FFA group did an excellent job with the olympics- everybody had a good time!


On Friday night our girls basketball team played their regional game #2. They defeated North Mahaska to advance on!


They will be playing Lynnville-Sully at Pella Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Monday night. The school will be sponsoring a student and a citizen pep bus for this event, free of charge. You will need to bring money for admission. Those interested in riding will need to call the school between the hours of 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. on Monday. If interested, you can also email me at hlightfoot@english-valleys.k12.ia.us

Go EV Bears!
