Replace the Trophies
An email address has been established to help identify the missing trophies and/or plaques. We need the help of all Valhalla alumni, parents and coaches to make this movement successful. I have personally spoken to the new athletic director, Jamie Block who will assist us with this recovery effort. We (the community) will provide him a list of what ‘should' be in the trophy case and he will cross reference his list and identify if this trophy/plaque is present or missing.
Complaining to the school board and those in power seems to be unsuccessful at this juncture in time. There is too much negativity surrounding this issue and no real solutions in place. It is time we put forth a concerted, constructive effort to help identify and reclaim the past achievements of the Valhalla Vikings!
This will not be an easy task. We must resolve ourselves to the harsh reality that some trophies will not be replaced. There simply is no record of their existence. So the task presented to all of you is this-if you brought it home to Valhalla-we want to know about it!!!! This includes all organized sporting teams as well as individual sporting achievements. It does not matter if it was a second or third place trophy or even a participation plaque-we want a record of these accomplishments. If you know of any alumni, coaches, or parents with any information, please email it to ReplaceTrophies@aol.com .
Please refer to this site for any updates regarding this issue. All collected information i.e. name/email of the person submitted will be confidential. Only the achievement will be forwarded to the school. Thank you in advance for any help with this effort.
Respectfully,
