from the principals
11 November 2019 | Chartiers Valley Intermediate School
Dear IS Families,

To all veterans of all branches: Thank you for your sacrifice, your bravery, and the example you set for all of us. We can not thank you enough! 

November is a month that reminds us to be thankful, to show gratitude, and to help others. This week, CVIS will be raising money for the Highmark Caring Place to support and encourage grieving children. 

Start gathering your Coins for Caring and help your child’s homeroom win a popcorn party. Bring in quarters on Tuesday, dimes on Wednesday, Nickels on Thursday, and pennies on Friday.  Thank you to the PTG and Ms. Mallon for coordinating to organize Coins for Caring at CVIS!  

November 21st is Children’s Grief Awareness Day . We invite all students to wear blue it show their support.

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Franczyk, Principal
Mr. Schintz, Assistant Principal
