Students Say Farewell
to Principal Jerry Starkweather
Students, teachers and staff
at Rock Valley Elementary School spent the final day of classes, Saturday, May 31, 1997,
paying tribute to Principal Jerry Starkweather on their final day together. After 25
years as principal at Rock Valley, Mr. Starkweather was honored in a variety of ways by
the students. One class chose to prepare a "test" for him to see if he
could qualify for retirement. Another class used the letters of his name to share
their memories. Another group rewrote the words of a familiar song to express their
feelings. A highlight of the morning was the announcement of the computer lab being
named Starkweather Computer Lab in honor of Mr.
Starkweather. Mr. Starkweather has made a lasting impression on the children and
staff of Rock Valley Elementary and he will truly be missed.
