Viking Corner: This Week at South Tahoe High

With only two months until summer, South Tahoe High School is getting ready for end-of-year school spirit activities and dances. Students also took the time to prepare for tonight’s Black Light Dance and celebrate Earth Day.

On Campus
This week, students went online to select their schedule for next year.

Black Light Dance is in the student union 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. tonight. Before the dance, the Black Light Rally is being held in the school’s gym at noon.

Harrah’s Casino hosted a job fair Tuesday for students interested in summer jobs.

Off Campus
In celebration of Earth Day, students took the day to admire our beautiful home here in Lake Tahoe. Here are some examples:

Sophomore Marcus Slack spent the day practicing at Genoa Lakes Golf Course.

Freshman Molly Winslow hiked at Eagle Falls and watched the sunset from Cave Rock with her friends.

The varsity softball team took off practice to clean up the field, picking up trash and sweeping pine needles, in preparation for their upcoming home games this weekend.

As a community, making Earth Day an everyday thing is important to preserve our wildlife and clear lake. Lowering plastic consumption and leaving no trace goes a long way.
