Teacher
Survey: Most Embarassing Holiday Moment?
By Nicole Nielsen
Embarrassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something you
can avoid or prevent, they are just a part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
can also bring several embarrassing moments that a majority of people
would much rather forget. The events of Christmas such as the putting
up of the Christmas tree, or maybe trying to put together some of
the presents that say “assembly required” can bring those most memorable
Christmas moments. Many teachers may not admit it, but they all have
embarrassing moments that occurred during this special holiday. There
are however a few teachers who are willing to own up to there own
unforgettable Christmas moments.
Ms. Mary Riley: “When I first got engaged, I really wanted
to impress my fiancé with a great Thanksgiving meal. However,
when I went to cook the turkey, I didn’t realize that it was still
frozen. I cooked it, and it came out horribly. We ended up going out
and eating hamburgers.
Mr. Mark Lodewyk: “Well, traditionally every Christmas my
family goes up to Mt. Hermon and cuts down a Christmas tree. We went
up there, found a beautiful tree, paid a lot of money, loaded the
tree onto the car, and headed home. It was a good experience until
we got home and we saw that the tree was gone. We then realized that
we had never actually tied the tree to the roof.”
Mr. Ken Shamanski: “I celebrated Christmas at Disney World
one year. We were playing barefoot soccer on the beach, and I broke
my toe. Then, the hospital wouldn’t admit me, basically because I
was Canadian.”
Mr. Donny Fugate: “I have never had an embarrassing holiday
moment. However, during the family gift exchange, I was very sneaky.
I would almost always forget to buy a present, so I would take a random
gift and put my name on it. Sorry, mom.

JV Boys Soccer: Starting
Fresh
Usually, the boys J.V. roster is filled with quite a few freshmen.
As there is no freshmen soccer team, it is not at all unusual to see
some of Valley's newest students squaring off against some teams,
like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are chock full of sophomores and even
juniors. Naturally, putting freshman and juniors together seems slightly...
unfair. Things are going to be different this year.
