2015 Snake Valley Calendar

Sorry I've gotten so far behind on posting on this blog! Just goes to show that life is busy in Snake Valley!

To keep track of it all, buy a Snake Valley Calendar for 2015! Check out all the details, plus all the photos included, on the Great Basin Water Network page.

Bridging the Gap Concert

No one disputes that EskDale has a marvelous music program. In March, people all over the country got to hear the choir during a unique concert that was broadcast over the Internet. You can read more about it on Janille's blog.

The music program also had great success with Solo/Ensemble, with numerous entries making it on to state.

If you want to hear a little music, there will be a recital this Sunday, May 11 at 3 pm (UT).

Successful Winter Carnival

 The 2014 winter carnival was great. Held in Baker Hall, lots of school parents and community members came out to support the local schools. About $2,000 was raised.

Face painting and some prize glasses.

The theme was Year of the Horse.

Don't miss the next school event: Aladdin at EskDale March 13 and 14, starting at 7 pm (NV)/ 8 pm (UT).
