We might be partial, but our Fridays are better than your Fridays. #ValleyProud — JCC Leadership vs. Staff Volleyball Tournament for Charity!

This week celebrates the contributions of school psychologists and the important role they play in schools and communities. National School Psychology Week (NSPW) is an annual opportunity to recognize school psychologists' work to help children thrive in school, at home, and in life. This year’s theme, “Spark Discovery,” recognizes the work that school psychologists do to help their communities seek out new ideas, effect change, and expand horizons for children and youth. Join us by thanking our amazing School Psychologists, Katie DeVore and Amanda Myles!

On Veterans Day, some of our Cassadaga Valley band students honored Veterans by performing Taps at 11:00 a.m. outside their homes, as part of Taps Across the Valley. We salute your bravery and we thank you for your service! 🇺🇸 Here are a couple of videos to enjoy: https://5il.co/311v8 https://5il.co/311v9

14 Sinclairville Elementary girls in grades 3-5 participated in Girls on the Run, and 6 CVCS Middle School girls in grades 6-8 participated in Heart and Sole, the middle school version of Girls on the Run. They attended practices twice a week for 9 weeks to run/walk, as well as journal and participate in activities to help them learn about themselves, their emotions, their dreams, and communication skills. At the race, Lydia Petry finished with a time of 33:40, beating her goal of 35:00. Girls on the Run team members are Addison Anderson, Emelia Ashley, Serenity Covington, Zari Edington, Lilana Hale, Caileigh Huffine, Katelyn Moeller, McKenzie Moeller, Gwendolyn McQuiggan, Aubrey O’Hara, Justus Osterhout, Haley Skinner, Madilynn Stroebel, Harmony Trotter and they were coached by Ms. Anderson, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Petry. Heart and Sole members are Breanna and Emmalynn DeGolier, Roclynn Ulinger, Lydia Petry, LeighAnn Fox, and Makayla Hopkins, and they were coached by Ms. Broadhead and Mrs. Zenns.

The Business math classes had the privilege of having CVCS alumni, Hunter Cleland, speak to them about his freshman year of college. The students had a question and answer panel where he fielded questions about the cost of books, working on campus, intramural sport participation, class syllabuses, weekend life, time management, costs, how to study, roommate experiences and college food. Hunter is a chemistry education major at the University of Buffalo. We were thankful he took the time out of his busy schedule to speak to our class. #ValleyProud

Hello CVCS Community. Late this morning a 911 call was placed in our MHS building due to a medical emergency that was taking place in the building. We want to emphasize that this medical circumstance only involved a single child. Everyone else in the building is safe and secure. and there was no disruption to classes. Thank you!

Come “Ring the Bell” at the Sinclairville Superette! Every year the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign helps support families in need in our district and surrounding communities. This year the Red Kettle Campaign will begin on December 2nd at the Superette in Sinclairville, NY. The campaign goes for about 3 1/2 weeks and we're always looking for volunteers! The money that we raise stays in our community and is meant to help families that have endured some form of hardship. In the past, the funds have been used to help families that are going through loss, to buy groceries, eye glasses, gas cards, sneakers, and several other items of support. Our goal every year is to have at least 2-3 people a day “Ring the Bell”, but we would like to have even more this year! If you are interested in volunteering please contact Ryan Smith, Sinclairville Elementary School Social Worker, at 962-5195; ext. 2404 or email rsmith@cvcougars.org. Thank you so much for your support and let’s make this our best year yet!

Sinclairville Elementary will be collecting canned foods and dry goods to be donated to the Park Methodist Church Food Pantry. Please reach out to the Elementary office if you have any questions.

Yesterday, during their Social Studies classes, student in grades 6-12 participated in a Mock Election. The students learned different key aspects connected to the importance of voting (what a ballot looks like, what the Electoral College is, and discussions about elections). Each student received a sticker for voting. Don't forget to get out and vote today!

Bill Carlson, CVCS graduate, community member and former board member and past president reached out to Superintendent Mangus to tell her what makes him proud about The Valley. He explained that as you get older, memories matter, and he has a lot of great ones when it comes to CVCS! From his roots as a student and president of the FFA to his teachers and board colleagues, he knows that Cassadaga makes him #ValleyProud! Thank you, Mr. Carlson! Be sure to reach out to Mrs. Mangus to share your #ValleyProud! gratitude this month!
