The Roanoker - January/February 2015 - 58

SCHOOL GROWTH
Glenvar High School, which was built in 1964, is under
a $24 million renovation and expansion project. A new
science wing, a new entrance, a new cafeteria, expanded classrooms and redirected traffic flow around the
building are all part of the renovation, says Lionberger.

challenge, to the tremendous surprise of the teacher,"
McClung says. "This is a student who had never shown
this level of cognitive ability before. Within the first
two months of the program's implementation, we have
seen considerable student growth and development
as measured by the program rubrics and by teacher
observation."

Thanks to a generous donation from Nick Powell of Salem Tools, a longtime supporter of the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra, Salem City Schools was able to bring
back its strings program, which was defunct last year
due to lack of funds. And the re-launch caused quite an
unexpected response.
"We were expecting around 24 students, but have 72
kids participating," says Sarah Wardle, RSO education
director. "We couldn't be more thrilled."
The program, available to second- through eighthgraders, is held weekly after-school and teaches students
the basics and fundamentals of playing the violin. Classes, divided by experience level, will perform at the end of
the school year to showcase all they've learned.
"Performance is a skill too," Wardle says, "so it's important for them to be able to share their music."
