The 2024-25 high school basketball seasons began for boys and girls this week. Judging from the area players returning to the hardwood, this is likely going to be another entertaining winter. Emiley Anderson, CVCS senior, made the list of "Guess Who's Back - Area Returns Tons of Talent for 2024-25" in this recent article. Emiley earned Second-Team and CCAA Division 1 East First-Team All-Star last season, with an average of 24.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.9 steals and 4.0 assists per game for the Cougars, who finished 12-9. Let's go Cougars! https://www.post-journal.com/sports/local-sports/2024/12/guess-whos-back-3/

Miss Broadhead’s Advanced Computer Art/Design class is diving into exciting real-world opportunities with their amazing client, Mrs. Mangus! This project is just one of many that our talented advanced students tackle throughout the year, all thanks to their solid foundation from the JCC Graphic Design class they completed last year. Senior, Autumnskye Seagrave, and junior, Katarina Pattison, are busy learning about school branding and identity, which will help them craft fantastic designs for the “Make the Valley Proud” campaign. We can’t wait to see the incredible creations that they’ll bring to life for Mrs. Mangus and other clients! Don’t miss out on more details in the Post Journal Article! #ValleyProud https://www.post-journal.com/news/local-news/2024/11/improve-district-pride/

Part of the New York State Social Studies standard includes teaching our students about personal finance, goals, and how do utilize an effective budget. Cassadaga graduate Nick Stern, who works for M & T Bank Relations, came into Mrs. Richir's senior Economics class to demonstrate more about establishing credit, how to read credit reports, understanding loans and interest as well as answering the several questions students had. The students wanted Mr. Stern to return to discuss more about fraud and fraud protection. We are looking forward to having him back in January! #ValleyProud

Our next #ValleyProud new hire spotlight is Brittany Mower! Brittany is one of our new elementary Teacher Aides! She started out subbing and quickly decided she wanted to become a part of the Cougar Community full time! We love that Brittany looks forward to coming to work everyday and we're pleased to have her on the team!

Mrs. Nocero from the Guidance Office arranged for a West Point Cadet to come and speak to some of Mrs. Richir's Social Studies classes. Jacob Sears, from Falconer, shared many aspects of academics, service and character as well as life at West Point. Cadet Sears also shared the importance of its history. The Continental Army first occupied West Point in 1778. The strategic location on the Hudson River was a key defensive position for the Americans. General George Washington established his headquarters at West Point in 1779 and considered it the most important strategic location in America.

As part of our December Reflection, here's what Mrs. Bennink shared about some really great real-world opportunities that are happening in Parenting/Child Psychology and JCC Education. The first two photos are a couple of the Parenting/Child Psychology students (Naomi Johnson and Addison Helwig) teaching patterns to the PreK students in Ms. Emmott's class. The third picture is Isabella Jaquith who is doing her 40 hour internship in Mrs. Dyer's PreK class teaching shapes. The third and fourth photos are Mattea Hilliker and Addisyn Grissom learning how to care for an infant in the Parenting/Child Psychology class. Each student takes the Real Care Baby home to simulate the real life experience of taking care of an infant. These students also use the Empathy Belly simulator that allows them to understand the signs/symptoms of pregnancy. The last photo is of the JCC Education class with Mrs. Kelly learning about classroom management and what it looks like in her classroom. They went to Mrs. Dague's and Mr. Cusimano's classrooms as well. We're #ValleyProud about all of these Life-Ready activities that are so important to the learning, growth and development of our students! We appreciate Mrs. Bennink taking the lead to ensure these great things happen in our school!

Due to inclement weather, Cassadaga Valley Central School District will be CLOSED, Monday, December 2nd! Please stay safe and warm!
