This fall, there are a lot of fun activities happening in the Vallivue High School Library. Mrs. Wilkerson will be hosting all of these activities at both A and B lunches. Halloween activities are done, but let’s recap what they did. Freshman Gavin Badger won the two-sentence horror story contest with this submission: “As I peered into the mirror, my reflection grinned menacingly, its eyes filled with a malevolent hunger that was not my own. I couldn’t move, trapped in my own body, as it whispered, ‘I’ve been waiting for you.'” Badger received a pumpkin pie and the two runner-ups, senior Zeke Solis and freshman Zachary Nguyen, each got a bag of candy. They finished October 31 by painting tiny pumpkins, and over 100 students participated.

Now that October is over and we are in November, there will be more for students to enjoy. November is National Novel Writing Month, and there will be a meeting in the library on November 7 for any students interested in participating in NaNoWriMo. On November 8, Mrs. Wilkerson will host LIT Lunch which is a book club. If you decide to join LIT Lunch, everyone will be sharing their favorite horror/thriller novel. And lastly, on November 15 during both lunches, everyone is encouraged to join Mrs. Wilkerson and others to create leaf suncatchers.
