SV Outreach

Welcome! The Star Valley Outreach is excited to be a part of your educational journey. Here at the Star Valley Outreach, we can help you apply to Western, take placement exams, apply for financial aid, and so much more. 

The Star Valley Outreach works with Star Valley High School to allow high school students earn college credits through their Concurrent Enrollment. Credits transfer easily to most colleges and universities but the final determination is made by that institution. 

We hope you will stop in and get a jump start on your educational goals!

Foods

Gary Hanock – HOE 106

Sourdough baking doesn’t need to be a mysterious, difficult thing. In fact, it can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. The class will focus on the simple; how to bake a tasty loaf of sourdough bread with what you probably have in your kitchen right now. We will cover a little of the history of bread making, bake up a couple of preprepared loaves for taste testing, mix our own dough to take home and bake, look at other things you can make with your starter, and how to keep it healthy and bubbly. You will leave with your own starter, recipes, and a “I can do this attitude."

Health and Wellness

Pam Tolman –HLT 900

We’ve all experienced stress, but what many people don’t realize is that when stress becomes constant, it can begin to affect nearly every system in the body. Over time, chronic stress can influence our immune system, hormones, sleep, emotions, and overall health, increasing our risk for a wide range of illnesses. In this class, we’ll explore the connection between stress and disease, look at what current research tells us, and discuss practical ways to calm the nervous system and support better health. My hope is that you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection and tools you can use in both your personal and professional life.

Pam Tolman – HLT 900

Have you ever caught yourself reacting in a way that made you wonder, “Why do I do that?” Sometimes the answers aren’t found only in our own experiences. The beliefs, behaviors, and unresolved challenges passed down through our families can quietly shape the way we see ourselves and the world. In this class, we’ll explore how generational patterns develop, what research tells us about family influences and emerging work in epigenetics, and how becoming aware of these patterns can help us make healthier choices for ourselves and future generations.
