Guatamala Trip 2006
The Guatemala team traveled to Guatemala the week of February
17, 2006. Mr. Steve Torode as well as Mr.
Nathan Smith and Mrs. Lisa Moore accompanied
the students on their six-hour flight far away from home.
While in Guatemala, the group of 17 students helped to build the
roof of a schoolhouse. They went to San Antonio Nejapa, Antigua,
and Guatemala City. They also visited schools where they did activities
with children such as ball games and blowing bubbles. A favorite
game of the students that was shared in chapel was Shrimp and
Caramel. One person starts by saying shrimp, and the other person
answers back with caramel. Though the game sounds simple, it was
a way to get the kids involved with the students.

Girls Soccer Defeats
Scotts Valley to Take CCS Crown
The varsity girls soccer team defeated the Scotts Valley Falcons
on February 25, earning the title of Division III CCS Champions
for the 2006 season.
When the Lady Warriors were knocked out of the WCAL tournament
after a loss to Saint Ignatius in early February, the girls held
on to their hope. Fortunately, luck was on their side, and they
were allowed to proceed to the first game of CCS finals.
On the evening of February 15, the Warriors took the field under
Valley Christian’s stadium lights determined to make the most
of the opportunity they had been given. Their opponent, Woodside
Priory, was unable to penetrate Warrior defense throughout the
game, resulting in a hard-earned 3-0 victory for Valley Christian.

Student Experiences
the Grammys
For most students, February third was exciting simply because
it marked the beginning of the weekend. Valley Christian junior
Yuma Sung found the day exciting for other reasons.
Yuma was selected to play in the 2006 Grammy
Trio as a pianist, an honor that few receive, let alone a sixteen
year old. Staying in Los Angeles for ten days, Yuma had the opportunity
to play with many famous Jazz musicians and experience the prestige
of the awards show.

Theater Production Captivates Audiences
Valley Christian Theater’s spring musical, Oklahoma,
is one of its finest accomplishments yet. The authenticity, dedication,
and captivation of the audience by the performers brought people
back for more.
The teachers had their own opening night on Wednesday, March 15.
Their experience was that of astonishment as these were their
students acting and putting on a show that could not be done to
this quality even by those much older. Miss Julie Claypool
stated, “I thought it was really good, very adult. It was a great
romp all through Oklahoma!”
