NEW OFFICERS – The Crystal Valley Exchange Club had its annual Officer Installation dinner meeting cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions on the venue it was scheduled. Instead, the club opted to induct its new officers at one of its morning meetings with just club members present so that social distancing could be observed while attendees ate.

The Crystal Valley Exchange Club was unable to meet in person with Northridge students, parents, and teachers this spring to celebrate their accomplishments. So a couple members of the club, Steve George and Ron Russell, made special deliveries to honor the spring athletes of the month, the ACE Award Winner, the M.L. Teter’s Memorial Scholarship Awardwinners, and the Student of the Year from Northridge and presented each with their plaque and scholarship checks. The Spring Athletes of the Month received certificates this summer at their Open Houses, They were Cassidy Overholt for girls tennis, Hayden Nickel for baseball, Tyler Moore for boys golf, Isaac Zmuda for boys track, Alison Bache for girls track, and Rachael Kelly for softball.
