🏅🌞 Special Olympics 2026 🌞🏅

After a hiatus, CVCS was thrilled to return to Special Olympics competition this year! On June 2, our athletes traveled to Strider Field in Jamestown for a day filled with determination, sportsmanship, and achievement.

Competing in running, throwing, and jumping events, our athletes gave their best effort and represented CVCS with pride. The beautiful sunshine and enthusiastic atmosphere made it a memorable day for everyone involved.

We are so proud of our athletes for their hard work, perseverance, and positive spirit. Congratulations to all who participated! 💙❤️👏 #ValleyProud

This weekend, Jocelyn Wintersteen represented The Valley at the NYS Girls Golf State Championship, finishing in 32nd place with rounds of 80 and 82.

In addition to her strong play on the course, Jocelyn was honored with the Section VI Sportsmanship Award, a recognition that reflects her character, integrity, and positive attitude throughout the championship.

Attached is a photo of the Sportsmanship Award recipients.

We are incredibly proud of Jocelyn for her accomplishments and for representing Cassadaga Valley with excellence both on and off the course. Please join us in congratulating her on a fantastic season and this well-deserved honor! 🎉👏🏌️‍♀️

John Cole & The Valley Minstrels went to SES yesterday afternoon to perform a short concert for the students!! The faculty & students were really excited for this collaboration opportunity!! 🎶🎤🎹

The students in Mrs. Schrader's Algebra 1A classes were surprised to find out they were writing Math Haikus last week. According to the classes it was their first time learning what a haiku was. They were taught that it is a short, three line poem with a 17 syllable verse form, divided into metrical units of 5-7-5. Official haiku poetry began at the end of the 19th century in Japan. The kids worked in groups and came up with haikus about slope, functions, y-intercepts, inequalities and equations.

🎉 Birthday Math Challenge! 🗓️

Our creative 6th-grade mathematicians just wrapped up their order of operations unit with a unique, brain-teasing project! Students designed custom calendars for their own birthday months, but with a major twist: every single date had to be the answer to an order of operations problem they created themselves.

The ultimate challenge? They could only use the digits 2, 3, 4, and 5 for all 28 equations. (We capped it at 28 days to keep it perfectly fair for our February birthdays! 🎂)

By mapping out these complex puzzles, our students proved they have a deep, masterful understanding of how mathematical sequences work to find the right answer. We are so proud of their critical thinking and creativity!

Check out some of their incredible calendar designs below! 👇

Charlie was a Medalist at the Special Olympics earlier this week. Hooray Charlie!! 💙❤️ #ValleyProud!

Driven to Succeed: Tanner Olmstead Signs with Alfred State Pioneers

Cassadaga Valley student, Tanner Olmstead, is officially taking his talents on the gridiron and into the fast lane at the next level. In a signing ceremony, Tanner committed to continuing his academic and athletic career at Alfred State College.

Tanner will be joining the Alfred State Pioneers football program, bringing his work ethic and dedication to a team known for its grit and determination.

Beyond the football field, Tanner has a clear vision for his future. He will be enrolling in Alfred State’s highly regarded Motorsports Technology program, housed within the School of Applied Technology. The hands-on, high-octane program is a perfect fit for Tanner's passion and career ambitions.

Adding to the celebration, Tanner’s hard work in the classroom and community was recognized early on. Upon his acceptance, he was awarded the prestigious Big Blue Scholarship, named after the college's beloved ox mascot.

With "Big Blue" in his corner and the Pioneer spirit driving him forward, Tanner is geared up for a successful chapter ahead, both under the stadium lights and in the tech shop. #ValleyProud

Students in Mrs. Schrader's and Mrs. Stevenson's ninth-grade math classes made predictions about which consonants and vowels occur most frequently in the English language. They then examined the actual frequencies of each letter in the alphabet. After that, they conducted their own experiment by reading newspapers and magazines for ten minutes and recording the letters from each word they read. The most frequently occurring consonant was N, and the most frequently occurring vowel was E. The activity culminated with students creating their own histograms to display their results. Whoever said, “You can’t read in math?” 🙂

June regents start next week! Please call the MHS office with questions.
