One class can change a student’s life. Ask Elaina Halye, a senior at Ohio Conference's Spring Valley Academy (SVA), and she will tell you that the ceramics class she took her sophomore year did just that.

Halye has fond memories of seeing the pottery that her aunt and uncle, Kathleen (Halye) Delgado (’02) and Myles Halye (’05), made in their ceramics classes around her grandma’s house. It intrigued her enough that when she had the opportunity to take that class, she jumped at the chance.

“It wasn’t easy at first,” Elaina admits, “but I caught on pretty quickly.”

Yet it was more than just learning a new skill that connected with her.
