MY ASB CREW! I can't possibly sum up into words how much I've
enjoyed this wild adventure with all of you! SV will forever be changed
by their very first Leadership class, and each and every one of you has
made a permanent mark on this campus.  We've truly made school a
better place for ALL kids, whether through the school's first dance +
maze combo, ice blocking, an epic Kindness Week, and countless
other moments.  I'll forever treasure remembering our own little
traditions (team chants + handshakes + gift exchanges + High School
Musical dance numbers + teacher of the month rap battles + words of
kindness galore) and I feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed your
greatness and watch each of you soar into the impactful leaders you
are today. I'm so humbled that you trusted me to help guide you in
some way through this year.  You all have forever impacted my life,
and for that I am deeply grateful. Congratulations on a fantastic year
together

Love, Mama Berry

Mr. Morano

ASB students,
You are our inaugural members of our ASB
class, and you have done an AMAZING job all
year long. I have been so impressed with your
professionalism, your commitment, your
energy, your good humor, your creativity, and
your adaptability.  I am so glad we had the
opportunity to learn and grow together as we
helped create memorable experiences for
students on (and off) our campus.  I am
incredibly appreciative of your efforts for
creating an ASB Announcements Google
Classroom, and it has been vital to our success
during EDL.  Thank you, all, for being you and
charging the way for us this year.  I wish you
the best of luck at high school and beyond. 
Take care, Mr. Morano
