Pride of The Valley/ League of Legends

Growing up in Cleona, LVC Honors student Syryth Mitchell ’24 began swimming lessons with LVC’s head coach of men’s and women’s swimming teams, Mary Gardner P’09, P’13, at age five. Having swum full circle, the double major in digital communications and political science competes on the swim team under Gardner’s tutelage and LVC’s Esports League of Legends team. Mitchell also plays clarinet, is in The Pride of The Valley Marching Band, and is an Eagle Scout.

“I joined the scouting program as a Cub Scout in second grade, then became a Boy Scout in fifth grade,” said Mitchell. “I continued in scouting, joining their Order of the Arrow National Honor Society, before completing my Eagle Scout project in 2019.”

Not surprisingly, Mitchell enhanced the Annville-Cleona Community Pool to earn his Eagle Scout Award.

“I wanted to do a project for the pool because it is a meaningful location for me, and I decided to give something back to a group of people who are like a second family to me,” noted Mitchell. “The Gardner family taught me how to swim and, more importantly, be compassionate and always thoughtful of others. Therefore, I refurbished the pool’s pavilion and added a new activity area for kids to play in when not swimming.”
