All South Beaver students that want to vote for the President of the United States will have the opportunity on Nov. 3, 2008. Those voting will be part of a national initiative to promote voter awareness and student participation in one our basic rights. Also, we hope our students will encourage their parents to vote on Nov. 4 if they haven’t voted by early ballot. The students will be able to see voting results by the end of the day and compare their votes to the national outcome.

Her name was Mrs. Hernandez. There are many pictures in the hall. Some are even black and white. There are pictures of sports teams.There is a statue of a beaver. You see it when you walk into the school. It was given to us by Mr. and Mrs. Cromer who worked at South Beaver. We rub its teeth for luck. There is a girl and a boy beaver painted in the gym.

The tree was planted for a lady named Ms. Hernandez. She worked in the cateteria for 30 years.

The Cromers, who worked at South Beaver for 25 years, had someone carve a beaver for South Beaver School. Now it is in the hallway so every one can see it.

South Beaver is a special school. South Beaver was built in the year 1935, and it is 73 years old. It’s made with malapai rock. The rock is found here in Flagstaff, Arizona. When you walk up to South Beaver, you see a tree for Mrs.Hernandez. She worked for thirty years in the cafeteria. Most trophies in the hallway are for sports like basketball, bowling, volleyball, and football. They are in glass cases so they will be taken care of. Mr.Hubbard was the longest working principal, and his picture is next to the office. There are pictures of sports teams, and awards in the hall. There’s a statue of a beaver found in the hall, and when you touch the beaver’s teeth it gives you good luck. It was a gift from the Cromers. The Cromers worked here as teachers. In the cafeteria, girls and boys painted two beavers. One is a girl, and one is a boy. The mural in the gym is so special to this school. It represents Arizona. The fourth graders who painted it will be the first 100 year class of Arizona in 2012. Thank you for learning about South Beaver with me.
