A team of eighth-graders and their Scotts Valley Middle School teacher have embarked on a campaign to drastically cut down the number of plastic bottles students discard while opening eyes to the pollution they create.
In case the San Lorenzo Valley communities felt left out following the storm damage doled out to Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz by the previous weekend’s storms, Mother Nature played a quick game of catch-up Thursday, March 24, and Saturday, March 26.
Local residents were out and about enjoying the warm weather Thursday, March 31. A rainless weekend lies ahead, with temperatures expected to reach a high of 79 degrees on Friday before cooling off to 66 on Saturday and Sunday.
San Lorenzo Valley High School’s Grad Night committee is nearing its fundraising goal to pay for one of the school’s most important events of the year, the Safe and Sober Grad Night. The final major fundraiser will be a Wine and Chocolate Tasting from 1 to 5 p.m. April 16 at Bruno’s Barbecue, 230 Mount Hermon Road, Ste. G, in Scotts Valley.
