Cedarcrest welcomes new frosh
In keeping with the trend to involve students more fully in
the transition from one school to the next, Cedarcrest High
implemented a new format to introduce incoming ninth- grade
students to the high school.
About 200 incoming freshman toured the school and heard
presentations from the sports/athletic department officials,
activities director, principal Clarence Lavarias and interim
superintendent Dick Giger.
Also on hand was Louis Bermond, a motivational speaker and
NCAA basketball player, as he urged students to “pack their
bags carefully for the four-year trip ahead of them.”
Typical student comments about the day included, “It was
fun,” and “[The orientation] helped us know the school
better.”
Chow down on spaghetti
Snoqualmie Valley Kiwanis is holding its annual Spaghetti Feed
on Friday, Sept. 17 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Mount Si High.
The event is always held in conjunction with the first Mount
Si Wildcats home football game. This year’s opponent is Skyline
High who historically has proven to be a highly competitive team.
The football game starts at 7:30 p.m.
The cost of the dinner is $5 for adults, $3 for children under
12 and $14 for a family. Tickets are on sale through local
Kiwanians or may be purchased at the door. The dinner includes
spaghetti, French bread, salad, milk or coffee and a variety of
desserts.
Calling all drill team girls
Snoqualmie Middle School will be holding a mandatory meeting
and practice on Sept. 13 for all students who are interested in
joining the school’s new drill team.
Practices will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 p.m.
to about 7:30 or 8 p.m. Drill team members will learn routines

competition, which will include teams from around Western
Washington.
