Dear IS Families,

On Friday, the totals were in for the number of items collected for this year’s ThanksForGiving Food Drive! 

CVIS students collected nearly 5,000 items! The non-perishable food collected were loaded on a truck Friday afternoon and delivered directly to South West Meals on Wheels. We are so proud of the Intermediate School students!  
   
Last Thursday, students participated in Junior Achievement Day. Junior Achievement (JA) provides lessons that prepare students for employment and entrepreneurship. The heart of JA is in the volunteers that teach the lessons. Trained volunteers teach students using their real-world experience to deliver hands-on lessons in finance, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. Thank you to Alpha Capital for sending us over 50 volunteers for JA Day!  

Thank you to our IS families for your continued support in your child’s education.  

Sincerely, 
Mrs. Franczyk & Mr. Schintz

From the Cafeteria
In light of the recent CDC recall of romaine lettuce, The Nutrition Group has removed all romaine from the CV cafeterias. In lieu of romaine, the cafeterias will utilize iceberg lettuce, spinach, or spring mix which have all been confirmed as safe to use. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact jvanbibber@cvsd.net .
