Dear Primary School Families,

Happy (early) Thanksgiving to all of our Primary School students and their families. We hope you will find time over the long weekend to share laughs, break bread, and truly enjoy all of the little things in life.

As a reminder, there is NO SCHOOL on November 30. (This is an update to our district-wide calendar that was recently approved by the school board.) Thanksgiving break runs from November 25-30.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be having our Kids of Steel program again this school year. Kids of Steel is a free, award-winning training program that helps motivate kids and their families to get moving together. Click this link to sign up your child. Details of the program are included in the link.

If you enjoy working with children, we would love for you to join our team (or as we call it, our "CV family")! Click here to explore the various employment opportunities within CVSD, which include full-time, part-time, and substitute options.

Have a wonderful week and a very Happy Thanksgiving!

All Together Now

Some of our Primary School students took part in the CVMS musical "All Together Now" last week. The collaboration was a great experience for all of the students and staff who took part. Coming off of more than 1 school year with limitations due to the pandemic, the memories were that much more special for those involved and those who were able to attend the show. A special "thank you" goes out to Ms. Kimberly Giffin, Musical Director, for including our little colts in the musical. See a photo below from the final dress rehearsal.
