CVCS Community! Even though it looks clear outside now, schools up north are seeing flakes flying and are anticipating and are canceling afternoon/evening activities for today. Out of an abundance of caution, we are canceling all afterschool/evening activities for today, January 13th, including the fitness center. Please travel safe, stay warm, and be well.
Congratulations to our Cougars with Character for December! They are doing a great job to make our school better! We are so proud!

Happy New Year! Please take a moment to read the updated superintendent message. We wish you a healthy, successful and a joyful start to the year. As we begin 2025, it’s the perfect time to look back and reflect on all that we’ve accomplished together while also looking forward to the new opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Remember to smile a bit more, we need some sunshine in these cloudy months. We do have a lot to smile about – After all, it’s always a great day to be in The Valley!

Cassadaga Valley lost two great retirees recently; Alfred "Al" Carpenter and Ken Balling. Al taught at CVCS for 30 years, was an advisor for multiple classes, started the tennis team and coached until he retired. Ken taught at CVCS for 23 years, coached football, basketball and softball. Ken stayed involved with the community and spent nearly 50 years answering calls to duty as a Volunteer Firefighter, with Stockton Volunteer Fire Company (and in Florida where he lived part of the year). Both of these great teachers/coaches made a lasting impact on the lives of countless students here in The Valley and we couldn't be more grateful for their dedication to our students and community. Our deepest condolences go out to their families/friends.

On 12/20, we had our second Middle School Incentive Program reward, for behavior at the 15 week mark. Students were able to watch the newest Grinch movie, have hot chocolate/cookies/candy canes, and also play board games during 7th and 8th period! #ValleyProud
Merry Christmas from The Valley!

The boys Varsity and JV basketball teams, coached by Phil Schrader, held a free mini youth basketball camp this morning. The boys ran stations and drills for the young players. It was a lot of fun and the boys hope to run another one in the future! #ValleyProud!
30 CVCS band students recently attended the Buffalo Philharmonic Holiday Pops concert at Kleinhans Music Hall. They described it as “perfect, like a recording,” and were very excited about hearing their instruments being played professionally!
We're #grateful for our next new hire spotlight, Suzanne Sischo! Suzanne is one of our new Food Service Helpers! She was excited to work in the same school she went to, and where her kids attend as well! Thank you for all you do for ALL of our Cougar kiddos!
Santa Claus is coming to.... The Valley! Here he is, welcoming our PreK kiddos into the building! #HolidaysInTheValley
Thank you to everyone who donated canned goods for our annual canned food drive! Our goal was 1000 cans and even though we fell short of our goal, Park Methodist Church was so grateful to receive the amount we were able to collect. They were in great need this year and the donations immediately helped so many families in our community. Thank you, once again, and have a wonderful holiday season!
Happy Holidays, from The Valley!
A group of CVCS music students, along with Mrs. Zenns and Mr. Bens, came together to sing some carols at the bottom of the main MHS stairway as everyone was heading to homeroom and breakfast this morning. #HolidaysInTheValley
