Mt. View Elementary Gets Toys For Tots

The Mountain View Elementary School expressed the true meaning of the Christmas season with their outstanding participation in the 2004 Toys for Tots program. This was the first endeavor of this type undertaken by the student council of Mountain View Elementary and the effort was supported with overwhelming enthusiasm throughout the entire school.

Student council members visited classrooms and made flyers to hang throughout the school, requesting the toys early in December. Day by day toys started coming in and the pile kept getting bigger and bigger. In just a little over two short weeks the amount grew to over 600 toys! It was a show of support by Mountain View students and staff!

Pictured (l-r) are: HM Nass, Mrs. Birosak (advisor), Alex Lynn, Connie Schmidt, Olivia Zick, Travis Groover, Corey Brewer, Greg Adams, Adam Conklin, Lance Corporal Doblovosky.

The toys were picked-up by the Marines on December 21 and Mountain View Elementary School was given the Commander’s Award for outstanding achievement in support of the 2004 Toys for Tots Program. The Mountain View Elementary student council would like to applaud the students and staff of Mountain View Elementary School for their overwhelming support and generosity during the holiday season.

Mt. View Chimettes Have Busy Season

The Mountain View Elementary Chimette Choir has had a successful and busy season in 2004. The group started meeting in mid-September, once a week for 40 minute practice sessions.

Chimettes are similar to hand bells. Although they are not as expensive and don’t require as much maintenance, the technique is still very much the same. Each member of the choir has certain chimettes they must ring at the proper time. When all of them play together, the individual notes combine to make music.

Pictured (l-r) are: front row - Olivia Zick, Ashley Conklin, Andrea Mason, Lindsey Harvey, Mary Walker, Diandra Bucksbee, Samantha Knowlton.; middle row - Bethany Kavka, Mrs. Birosak (director), Alex Lynn, Alaney Berish; back row - Kalena Williams, Karsten Wallis, Ryan Walsh, Gregory Adams, Corey Brewer.

The group did a lot of performing this year, starting with a performance in November for the Lupus Foundation in Scranton. For three days in December they played for many places in our area, among them Gracious Living Estates in South Montrose, Meadowview Senior Living Center in Montrose, the NEIU early intervention program in New Milford, Faith Mountain Christian Academy in New Milford, Barnes Kasson in Susquehanna and both the Personal Care and Nursing Centers in Forest City. They also played at the Viewmont Mall one Sunday afternoon in December for Christmas shoppers passing by.

These students have done outstanding work! It requires intense concentration and practice to be successful at chimettes. Hats off to this fine group of young people!
