Columbia Valley Pioneer staff

Assistant school district superintendent Steve Wyer is the new guardian of Yucki the Sloth.

But don’t worry, Wyer is not slowing down anytime soon.

The senior official with Rocky Mountain School District No. 6 recently won a contest among district office staff while raising money (nearly $500) for three community food banks.  

The prize was a one-year guardianship of Yucki, a giant stuffy that will keep Wyer company in his office.

Wyer told the Pioneer it was a great way to bring the office team together at Christmas for a great cause. 

“We had a ton of fun! The best part is that Yucki has to live in my office until we do it all again next year. He gets into every team meeting.”

Yucki is really slow at reacting, but he analyzes every detail before giving his input . . . which won’t be until next year.
