Set in the rural town of Hillsdale, the play is about a group of pysychic investigators who decide to visit the 80-year-old Hill House, said to be haunted by something malevolent and not human. When the group visits, the house comes alive and seeks vengeance on its unsuspecting guests.

Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the school’s business office at (509) 228-5100 or at www.CVTheatre.

WV DECA pushes cancer awareness
West Valley High School’s DECA chapter has started a three-month cancer awareness campaign.
This month DECA members are raising money for Because There Is Hope, an organization started in 2004 by breast cancer survivor Melody Biehl, who dedicated her time to helping other cancer patients. Biehl also opened Faye’s House, in honor of her friend, Faye Mclain, who lost her battle with cancer.
To raise funds for Biehl’s organization and Faye’s House, DECA students have been selling breast cancer awareness items, including pink wristbands, T-shirts, buttons and ribbons.
WV’s student athletes are participating with the Tough Enough to Wear Pink awareness campaign: football players are wearing pink jerseys, the cheerleaders are wearing pink socks, T-shirts and pom-poms for all of their home games, and the girls soccer and volleyball players are also wearing pink at all of their home games. WV students are wearing pink on Wednesdays and Fridays.
In November, the WV DECA Chapter will raise awareness of colon and prostate cancer with No Shave November. To promote early detection and screening, students, staff, and WV parents can participate in a beard and mustache competition. The hairy competitors will be judged in an awards ceremony on Nov. 20. DECA members and guest speakers also will share information about prostate and colon cancer.
And in December the WV DECA’s cancer campaign will center on childhood cancer and help support American Childhood Cancer Organization Inland Northwest. Chapter members will volunteer and raise money for cancer patients and their families for the annual Christmas party.
