Keep up the amazing work! You all make us very proud.

It was a day and night to remember for students at the South Valley School. The school held its annual “Spring Fling” dance on Friday night and a local hair academy volunteered precious time and talents to make sure everyone looked their very best for the night of dancing, pictures, refreshments, and having fun with friends.

The Taylor Andrews Academy of Hair Design was at South Valley all morning on Friday giving students the opportunity to have their hair styled, makeup, and nails done for the dance. It was a big act of kindness that made students look and feel their very best for their night to remember. The theme for this year’s dance was “A Walk in the Clouds.” Teachers, staff, and school alumni attended, along with current South Valley students.

Everyone danced the night away making cherished memories. Thank you to Taylor Andrews Academy of Hair Design for their generosity and caring about South Valley students!

Mother Nature continues to provide Utah with an unprecedented amount of snow, despite the fact that the calendar says it is spring. All the snow has resulted in a tremendous amount of work for many dedicated employees constantly clearing sidewalks, parking lots, playgrounds, and more.

Thank you to all who have helped in the snow removal process; custodians, mechanics, sweepers, principals, and other staff members. We appreciate all of you, and are so grateful for the enormous time and efforts to make sure the areas in and around our schools and buildings are cleared for students, teachers, and staff.
