"A
Boston Tea Party": A Delectable Delight!
By Becky Wu
Elegant decorations, fine
china, tasty hor’dourves, delicious finger foods, and wonderful
gift baskets- the Ladies’ Tea was a sure success. This year’s
theme was “ A Boston Tea Party.” The tea offered musical entertainment
performed by the Valley Christian band and there were raffle tickets
sold for the gift baskets. All the ladies dressed beautifully
and delightfully snacked on different desserts.
The whole band was required to help setup and serve at the Ladies’
Tea with the exception of senior girls, even though they were
strongly encouraged to help. It took two days for the band and
their parents to setup this elegant event. Seniors such as
Erin Roffey, Trevor Walker,
Eric Toussaint, Alex Drzaic, and Lindsey
Pitman all helped decorate and serve. All the servers
dressed in colonial attire, suits, or dresses.
Other seniors such as Shevata Kumar and Lindsey
Huffman were able to sit down and enjoy their tea and
finger foods. Huffman said, “ It was fun; my mom won a basket
and the chocolate cake and brioche was divine.” Kumar said, “I’m
really glad that I was able to sit down and enjoy the tea. The
food was delicious and the baskets were awesome. All the ladies
looked beautiful.” Many Valley girls including seniors Cassandra
Cisneros, Katy Malone, and junior
Lauren Grace went to the tea with their moms and aunts.
The young men from the band were signed up to escort the ladies
to their tables. Sophomore escort Ryan Bettencourt
said, “ The tea was fine, it turned out to be pretty successful.”
The tea was a great hit. All the attendees had an incredible time.
Many are already looking forward to next year’s Ladies’ Tea and
see what yummy foods and beautiful gift baskets awaits them!

Spiritual Emphasis
Week
Imagine trudging through a swamp waist deep with nothing
to guide you but your compass. It is night, and you have to use
your instincts to find your way to a marked point. For speaker
Darrin Crowder, he has met many similar challenges
such as this when he joined the army.
Crowder came to Valley Christian the week of March 27 to share
his message with the students of how to separate “what the world
tries to say to you vs. what the Bible is trying to tell you.”
