It’s been a busy start to the school year in Home Economics and Career and Finance. The food classes have made homemade granola with yogurt parfait and egg bites. They've been learning about how food affects their everyday lives, getting into the kitchen and exploring healthy food, and learning how to apply these skills at home. Career and Finance students met with our Maintenance staff and Administrative offices. The students were able to get to know the careers that we offer, right within our own school, as well as discover that our school employs over 30 alumni, with Mr. Todd Ames, Director of Facilities, clocking in at 38 years employment with CVCS class of 1986! We also welcomed Officer Taylor Anderson. Officer Anderson came to visit the Career and Finance class to offer insight into a career in law enforcement. Officer Anderson is also a CVCS alumni, class of 2016, and started her path right here with our school. Ms. Anderson began her criminal justice career through our BOCES program and, upon graduation, she proceeded right to JCC and enrolled into the police academy. Following graduation, she has had extensive training, as well as many EMT and various life saving certificates. Officer Anderson is employed with the Jamestown Police Department and loves the fast-paced work environment as well as serving her community! On behalf of all of our students and staff, we thank Ms. Anderson for taking the time to come back to CVCS, and inspire our students to do great things! #ValleyProud!

Don't forget to support the Cassadaga Valley's Drama Club this Sunday! 🥞🥞

Today is our annual Pink Day in remembrance of our beloved ELA teacher, Debra Tordoff. The Key Club sponsors this as a way to bring awareness to Breast Cancer and to raise money for senior scholarships in memory of Ms. Tordoff. Of course we still have to represent the Buffalo Bills too!

Our dedicated Board of Education has been busy reviewing every inch of our facilities with our architects, Director of Facilities and Superintendent to make sure that our spaces continue to make The Valley proud!

Best people, best vibe, best views today and every day! #ValleyProud

At the beginning of the year, students in Mrs. Richir's classes participated in a one-word project that will remain displayed in the classroom throughout the year. Each student selected a word they felt deeply connected to or identified with, researched its definition, and explained why they chose it. Seniors also took part in this project. Mrs. Nocero from the guidance department recently worked with students in Global Studies 9 to complete the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator. This activity allowed students to reflect on their strengths and consider how these traits influence their relationships with others. Working together in a community circle, the students also developed personal goals for their first year of high school. Seniors, Hailey Myers and Anastasia TenPas, are pictured with a selection of the one-word projects behind them.

This week our shared decision making team (Cassadaga Aligned Navigation) with representatives from the community working alongside our parents, teachers, support staff administrators and, most importantly, our students, rolled up their sleeves and got to work planning how we will reach our goals! Together we CAN do great things! #CougarPride #ValleyProud

Today is School Custodian Appreciation Day! We'd like to take a minute to recognize all of our buildings and grounds staff who work, diligently, every single day to keep our facilities clean and safe! We also missed our opportunity to recognize our IT staff on National IT Professional Day (Sept. 17th) so we'd also like to give a shout out and special thanks to our IT guys, Phil and Adam! Not only do they keep up with the day to day tech operations/needs of the staff and students, they're constantly having to manage our security in the cyber world! So, to our custodial and tech staff, we want to say THANK YOU for all you do for this district! #ValleyProud!

Join us at this week’s home events and show off your COUGAR PRIDE!
