Come to the opening of the 2015-2016 Season as the Santa Cruz Chorale presents their traditional December concert, “Christmas with the Chorale.”

Despite a loss, a day full of homecoming smiles, including a ceremony to honor Preston Boomer, the longtime science teacher who retired last spring after 56 years at his post, completed a spirit-filled homecoming for San Lorenzo Valley High School.

The work on the newly renovated facility of the new Boys and Girls Club of the Valleys wrapped up several weeks ago, but the sparkling new building sits empty — its brand-new kitchen unused, dust gathering on the donated game tables as no children’s shouts fill its colorful walls.

While the Falcons remain undefeated in league play at 4-0, the Scotts Valley Lacrosse team fell to Serra High School 17-7 on April 5. at Branciforte Middle School in non-league play.

On June 10, the procession of teachers and graduating students marched into the football field where families and friends were waiting to observe the 2015 graduation ceremony, and together, they marked the culmination of four years of intense learning, social and athletic achievements. As the class of 2015 received their diplomas, everyone was able to express their own brand of celebratory hoorahs, and even some families shed a few thankful tears as they watched their young family members graduate from SVHS.
