Scoop contest winners named

Nearly 100 eagle-eyed kids from across the region quickly spotted Scoop Reporter hiding among advertisements in last week’s Voices and called the newspaper. The first seven who spoke with contest master Marsha Ovnicek will win free ice cream and an official Reporter’s Notebook and are this week’s Honorary Cub Reporters.

East Valley

EVSD plans open house

The East Valley School District will host a community meeting to discuss a school modernization bond at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 10 at East Valley High School, 15711 E. Wellesley Ave.

The hour-long meeting is open to the public. The district tried to pass a $33 million bond two times this year that failed to bring more than 56 percent approval – short of the 60 percent super majority required for passage. The proposed bonds would have paid to modernize East Valley Middle School, Mountain View Middle School and Otis Orchards Elementary, as well as pay for security improvements at the district’s elementary schools.
