Huge congratulations to SVT’s own Mrs. Ashley Loncon for being named Teacher of the Year by Lilac Princess Chloe Nelson! Mrs. Loncon teaches freshman health/fitness, leadership, and foundations of education. 🌸
After three years in her classroom, Chloe calls Mrs. Loncon the "backbone of SVT," highlighting her creativity in teaching without a traditional gym, positive attitude in overcoming challenges, and her vital role as our graduation coordinator. This award, supported by Gesa Credit Union (seen with Greg- SVT's representative), recognized Mrs. Loncon with a stipend, gift basket, and plaque.
Keep an eye out for Mrs. Loncon on KHQ soon with a live interview, and be sure to wave to her as she rides the teacher float in the Armed Forces Lilac Parade Saturday May 16! Chloe will be there on the Lilac Princess float too, of course. 🏆🚒👑
Also seen: SVT Principal Mrs. St. Pierre

💼🎤 NCTA Money & Business Program Guest Speaker Series 🎤💼
Featuring Nikki Wegner
A huge thank you to Nikki Wegner, CEO of @chinook_enterprises, for speaking with our Money & Business students! Nikki shared what it truly looks like to step into leadership, especially during challenging times like taking over during COVID.
She emphasized the importance of listening to your team, building trust through transparency, and understanding that you don’t have to be the smartest person in the room — you just have to bring people together. Her focus on putting people first and solving the right problems gave students a powerful real-world look at leadership in action.
We appreciate Nikki taking the time to invest in and inspire the next generation of business leaders! 👏📈

Featuring Shane Servoss
Huge thank you to Shane Servoss, @Shane_realestateagent, for speaking with our Money & Business students! Shane gave students a real-world look at what it takes to build a successful career in real estate — including high risk tolerance, self-motivation, and the importance of showing up consistently every single day.
He shared valuable lessons about prospecting, building your sphere of influence, and learning through experience. One of the biggest takeaways for students was that successful business owners focus on helping others first, rather than simply chasing deals.
Shane also reminded students that success is not about one big moment — it’s about doing the small things right over and over again. Thank you for taking the time to invest in and inspire our students! 👏📈

I Spy Sensory!
Last month, Foundations in Education students made sensory bins to share with their preschool classes at the Central Valley Early Learning Center. SVT students chose a theme, wrote a learning target, planned for and gathered supplies, then assembled their bins to share with the students. It was a great experience for both SVT and ELC students alike.
Way to go, future educators!

The Alchemy of Art: Hand-Crafting Watercolors at SVT! 🧪🖌🎨
Some of our Art students are going behind the scenes of the creative process by manufacturing their own watercolors from scratch!
Using the traditional method of mulling raw pigments into a Gum Arabic binder, students are learning how the chemistry of materials affects the quality of their work.
🧪 The Science: Gum Arabic is a natural resin that keeps the pigment suspended and gives watercolor its signature transparency and glow. 🛠️ The Craft: It takes a steady hand and a glass muller to ensure the pigment is perfectly smooth and ready for the brush.
We love seeing our students blend technical skill with artistic vision. Students will use their paints to create their own art pieces too. Great job, SVT artists!
