STAFF MEMBER OF THE WEEK

JULIANNE HILL


Ms. Hill's choice for this week's Staff Member of the Week is Julianna Hill. Mrs. Hill has been so welcoming to me in my first year at Sun Valley. She is always willing to answer my questions or help me with a student. Mrs. Hill always has a smile and is willing to chat. Her love and respect for her students is so evident, and they all love her so much. I can think of no better person to give Staff Member of the Week at the end of the year, especially with all the amazing work she does throughout the year. Congrats Mrs. Hill!

STUDENTS OF THE WEEK

JESSICA WILLIAMS


Mr. Bittner has selected Jessica Williams has student of the week. Jessica is a consistent sea of calm in class regardless of the chaos around her. She is hard working, always attentive to details and deadlines, and her classwork ad grades reflect her commitment to excellence. Her positive qualities will carry her far.  

AVA MCKNIGHT


Mr. Bittner has selected Ava McKnight as Student of the Week. I have known Ava since she was a freshman. She is the kind of person whose charismatic personality stands out in a crowd.
