💙💛 #BlazerLoveStories 💛💙 👩‍❤️‍👨 Paul and Opaline (Thompson) Wimpy’s love story began around 1950 in the halls of Valley View High School. Paul was a lifelong member of the Valley View community, and Opaline moved into the district her 10th grade year. They began dating soon after and graduated together in 1953, marrying in September of that same year — starting a life rooted in faith, family, and #BlazerPride🔥 🏠 In their early years, Paul worked for the Coca-Cola Company and Opaline for Southwestern Bell Telephone. Living in a small downtown apartment, they walked to work each day because they didn’t yet have a vehicle. By the late 1950s, they built a home not far from Valley View School, planting even deeper roots in the community they loved. 👨‍🌾 Paul spent most of his adult life farming, with Opaline faithfully working alongside him. She was actively involved in the Valley View PTA, and both were dedicated members of the Valley View Booster Club. Paul was also a charter member of the Valley View Ruritan Club. Together, they spent countless hours in the Valley View gym, proudly cheering on their daughter, Belinda (Wimpy-Renck) Chapman, a 1981 graduate, as she played basketball. 💙 Their Blazer legacy continued through their grandson, Joshua Renck, a 2003 Valley View graduate, and now their great-grandson, Elliot Renck, age 11. ❤️ Paul and Opaline shared 70 beautiful years of marriage. Paul passed away in August of 2024, just one month shy of their 71st wedding anniversary. Opaline will celebrate her 91st birthday in March and now resides at St. Bernards Villa. 💛 Their story is one of devotion — to each other, to family, and to Valley View. 💙 Once a Blazer, Always a Blazer! 💛

🔨🚧 High School Addition Project Update from C.R. Crawford Construction 🚧 🔨 While performing routine quality assurance testing, our project team discovered non-compliant materials had been installed on the Valley View High School addition construction project.  Following comprehensive verification testing and engineering analysis, the team has determined that removal and replacement of the materials in question is the solution. While this is an unfortunate setback, rest assured that the corrective work will be executed at no additional cost to the school district. The project team has and will continue to keep the district's best interest as the top priority.

💙💛 #BlazerLoveStories 💛💙 👩‍❤️‍👨 Cody and Krista (Rice) Nugent’s story began at Valley View in January of 2007. Krista had been a Blazer since kindergarten, while Cody and his twin brother, Chris, had just moved to the district over Christmas break from Lubbock, Texas. Fate stepped in when Cody was placed in Krista’s homeroom (Mrs. Chadwick) — sitting right in front of her. 🏡 They quickly realized they lived close to one another and shared many of the same interests. Weekends were spent in the country riding four-wheelers and dirt bikes with friends, and before long, friendship turned into something more. They officially started dating in April 2007 and cheered each other on at football and softball games throughout high school. Voted Cutest Couple for the Class of 2008, their Blazer love story was one everyone admired. 🎓 Their relationship continued at Arkansas State University, and in January 2013 they were married. 👧👧 Today, they have two daughters, ages 3 and 1, who are already honorary Lady Blazers. The girls can often be found at basketball and softball games cheering on their Aunt Meg (Coach Rice) and her teams. 🌾 Cody and Krista still enjoy the same hobbies that first brought them together — hunting, fishing, and lake life — though now they’ve added two kids, a herd of cattle, and a few donkeys to the adventure. Valley View brought them together, and they look forward to cheering on the Blazers for years to come! 💙 Once a Blazer, Always a Blazer!💛 #BlazerPride🔥
