A Priceless Smile
L
ike most fifth graders, Hannah Kircher is shy at first,
but once you get her started she
has a lot to say, especially about
helping others. She likes soccer
and drama and her favorite food
is beef stew and mashed potatoes. She is a slight girl who in a
few years will be all knees and
elbows, and when she’s asked a
question, her large, brown eyes
look thoughtful as she carefully
considers her words. To the untrained eye, there is the shadow
of a scar on her upper lip and she
has a slight lisp.
“All this started when I wanted to buy a puppy,” she said. Hannah wanted to buy a beagle puppy which cost
about $250. According to her mother, Sandee, “Hannah has always been a planner
and a list-maker.” So, Hannah began to save her allowance and spent a lot of time
thinking of her puppy, its name, what kind of collar it would have. Not long after
that, she was reading a magazine before bed. “I like to look at home and garden
magazines to give me decorating ideas for my farm when I grow up,” Hannah said.
Between the glossy photos of immaculate houses, there was a picture she was all
too familiar with—a child with a cleft palate. The child was in a foreign country,
obviously poor, and the ad asked for a donation to help.
Hannah was born with no hard palate in her mouth. It’s similar to a common
birth defect, a cleft palate, which affects 1 out of 2,500 children born in the world.

Valley School Book Fair
he Valley School Book Fair will be held in the library November 14th – 16th
between 12:30 – 6 p.m. where students can get affordable books to enhance
their love of reading. Students and families can promote literacy by seeing for
themselves the selection of fun, engaging and affordable books available.
“Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own
books will motivate them to read more” asserted Valley School Librarian Diana Carr.
Families have a number of ways to order books: by selecting titles from the
order form that was sent home at the end of October, or by attending the Book Fair

Smile - Cont. from page 1
It is caused when the palate on the
roof of the mouth doesn’t close
properly, exposing the sinuses to
the mouth, which can cause problems with feeding, speech, and
hearing. “She’s had ten surgeries,”
Sandee said. Hannah has undergone surgery each year ever since
she was born. “This winter, she’ll
have another to fix her breathing.”
Putting the magazine down,
Hannah crept out of bed. “I asked
my mom if I could use my money
to help a kid in another country like
me,” Hannah said, “instead of buying a puppy.” Realizing her allowance wouldn’t cut it, Hannah set
up a lemonade stand in the Crossroads Community Church. Her dad,
Bob, who used to own the bakery, Neighbors, in Chewelah,
made batches of cookies with smiley faces on them.
Word got out about Hannah.
With the help of the community, she did so well that
first year, earning $272.35, she had enough to pay for one
cleft palate surgery. When she told her doctor, Dr. Paxton of
Spokane Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery about her fundraising,
he told her about his organization. Dr. Paxton is a volunteer
surgeon who has been doing cleft lip and palate surgeries
in Guatemala with Hearts in Motion, a nonprofit based out
of Indiana, for the past 21 years. He told Hannah that her
donation would pay for three surgeries instead of one, so
she accepted.
Hannah, always a planner, decided to make this project
her senior project and to raise enough money for 10 surgeries by the time she graduated from high school. Mind you,
she’s in fifth grade. “I have so many people helping me, and
T
these kids have no one,” she said. All total, Hannah has 17
specialists, orthodontists, ear, nose, and throat doctors, her
surgeon, and more. Many of the children she wants to help
have one doctor for hundreds of kids.
“Things have changed a lot since I’ve started,” she said.
Since her first lemonade stand, she had another last year, raising an additional $250. Hannah was also invited to Dr. Paxton’s
lecture at Gonzaga University where she was interviewed by
20 nursing students. “Hannah got a kick out of it,” Sandee said.
Nowadays, Hannah is saving for her next donation. She
has another surgery scheduled for this winter to widen her
airways and make it more comfortable to breathe. She’s
learning a little on the piano and has started a stuffed animal
drive for “all the kids who didn’t get the surgery.” In the spring,
Hannah and her dad will bake another batch of cookies, and
she’ll sit at the counter, carefully frosting each one with a
perfect smile.
Valley School Drama Program Receives Grant
he Drama program at the Valley School received
a $300 grant through the Charlie Lovett Foundation that is located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
This grant was offered to schools that had productions of plays or musicals performed by elementary
students.
Theresa Carr, Drama Director, applied for the grant
last June to help fund the upcoming production of
The Nutcracker. “I am extremely pleased that we have
received this grant,” she said. “These funds will help
cover the cost of the scripts for the production. I am
especially excited that Charlie Lovett recognizes the
importance of what we do in the life of the students.”
In his notification letter to the Valley School, he
wished the students good luck with rehearsals, and to
“Break a Leg!” Carr also mentioned that Charlie Lovett
has written several of the scripts that the students
have performed, one being “A Hairy Tale.”

Classroom Corner
Mrs. Morgan’s Kindergarten
The kindergarten has had a busy fall. We have
just finished plants, learned the first few phonograms, and introduced numbers 1 – 10, patterns and sorting.
Mrs. Bellevue’s First Grade
October has been a very busy month learning
about five systems in the human body: Skeletal,
Muscular, Circulatory, Nervous, and Digestive. If
you aren’t sure of the name of the biggest bone
in your body, how the heart helps us breathe, or
how long your small intestines are, just ask a first
grader! We have also been focusing on writing
good complete sentences. The students are
even learning how to edit each other’s sentences
and write final drafts. In math we have begun
memorizing the “doubles” facts and continue
practicing different ways to solve story problems.

Mrs. Tilla’s Fourth Grade
On October 19 th we went to Spokane and saw
a fantastic performance by the Spokane Symphony! We were amazed when we walked into the
Martin Woldson Fox Theater and sat in the front
row. It was as beautiful as a palace and bigger than
a mansion. We loved looking at the stunning ceilings and décor. There was lots of etched and stained
glass, and accents of gold and silver everywhere. It
was as if we were in a dream. Even the bathrooms
were like a ballroom.
Then the music started. It was enchanting
and elegant. The conductor opened with the Star
Spangled Banner, and we all got to sing along. We
A
learned about the four instrument families. Some
instruments played loud and powerfully, but others
were soft and subtle. While the various instruments
were introduced, we recognized a lot of famous
songs they played including “Nimbus 2000” from
Harry Potter, the theme from “Pink Panther,” “Star
Wars,” and even “Jaws”. We heard classical music
from Beethoven, Pachelbel, and Copeland and a
march by Sousa.
The fourth grade class had a really great time! We
were so happy to have Ms. Jessi Reed from Paideia
High School accompany us on our musical adventure.
Parent Request for Information About Teacher Qualifications
ny parent who has a child attending any school receiving Title I funds may request and receive, in a timely manner, information
regarding the professional qualifications of the student’s classroom teachers. In addition, the parents may also ask whether the
child is provided services by a paraprofessional and, if so, his or her qualifications [Section 1111 (6)(A) ESEA].

rs. Cregger’s class is learning
about how various chemicals
burn different colors by employing
the “Flame Test,” a chemistry lab
where students observe the color
change of metal salts when placed
in a flame. “We are currently studying the Periodic Table of Elements
and this lab focuses on the metals
in particular,” said Mrs. Cregger.
Various metal salts (compounds
of metals chemically combined
with chlorine) were made into solutions to be dipped and then placed
into a flame. The flame would then
turn a certain color as the salt solution burned. For example: Barium
Chloride (BaCl2) burns a light green,
Lithium Chloride (LiCl2) burns red,
Chloe Dulaney and Bryce Harris conduct a “Flame Test” in Mrs. Cregger’s chemistry lab.
Sodium Chloride (NaCl2 – table salt)
burns yellow. Students were given seven salt solutions to test and observe. “Strict safety precautions were followed,”
said Mrs. Cregger, “and the students did a great job following the lab protocols.”

The Book Fair, while providing students with equal shares
of entertainment and education, is also a fundraiser for the
Valley School Library. “Any eBooks or products purchased
from our online fair or from Storia go toward our over-all
sales goal which is $2,200. At this level I can get 50% of this
amount in free books for the Library. With all of the cut-backs,
this is one of the best ways I have of getting great books into
the hands of our students,” said Mrs. Carr. Each book that’s
purchased not only enhances each student’s love of reading,
it improves the library for all Valley students. So come down
and show your support for student literacy and love of the
written word.

graders. The girls had fight in them and never gave up.
We finished our season with our heads held high and,
best of all, with a great attitude.” Although everyone
on the team deserves an award, Coach Link honored a
handful of players for their superb performance:

Triumphant Football Season
T
he Valley School football
team finished off a perfect
season—5 and 0—that’s five
wins and zero losses. “We were
a defensive machine this year,”
said Assistant Coach, David Bergman. The Eagles only allowed
14 points for the entire season
and managed to score a grand
total of 196 points over the five
games.
Teamwork and Class: those
were the two key components to
the Valley School Football season.
Coach Watson and Coach Bergman discussed these values at
the initial meeting of the 2012 Eagles football season. Talent—and
there was a lot of it this year—
was a good thing to have on a
football team, but more than anything,
they acted as a single unit. Although
the entire team deserved an award, the
coaches honored these five players for
their outstanding performance:
Defensive MVP: Chandler Carr
Offensive MVP: Peyton Danly
Most Inspirational: John Selle
Coaches’ Award: Hunter Fitzgerald
Most Improved: Joey Culverwell
“Coach Watson and I could not be
more proud of this team,” said Coach
Bergman.

Valley School Production: The Nutcracker
he Valley School Drama Program is
pleased to present The Nutcracker
for three nights only: November 7th, 8th,
and 9th at 6:30 p.m. in the multipurpose
room. “This production adds splendid lyrics to a simplified version of Tchaikovsky’s
famous score,” said Director, Theresa Carr.
“We’re creating a unique version of The
Nutcracker that captures the magic and
fantasy of the original ballet.”
On Christmas Eve, Marie is presented
with an unusual gift, a nutcracker. That
night, she is awakened by a band of
renegade mice, led by the evil Mouse
King. The night gets stranger when the
Nutcracker, a ballerina, Feline Legation,
Mistress Clara and other toys show up
to battle the rodents. The heroes travel
together to the Land of Toys to rescue (l-r) The Mouse King (Megan Salapka), Princess Pirlipat (Rachael Larsen), Marie
Stahlbaum (Emma Larsen), and the Nutcracker (Brent Fiola).
Princess Pirlipat from the wicked Mouse
Queen. You’ll have to wait and see if the Nutcracker and Princess are reunited, if the curse is broken, or if Marie ever
finds her way home to celebrate Christmas with her family.
Tickets are $5 for adults, $2 for students, and children ages 0-5 will receive free admission. Mark your calendars!
