This week we had the New York Air National Guard speaking to our Business Math and Career/Financial education classes. Pictured below is Technical Sergeant, Brendan Bartoo, of the 107th Attack Wing from the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station speaking to Mr. Helwig's 7th period Business Math class. The students enjoyed learning about the basic training in Texas and the interesting drone information. He also taught them what the ASVAB test was and how it identifies potential military careers that match an individual's aptitudes.

"Through the Fog, The Light Remains"..... What a beautiful morning it was in The Valley!
The New York Army National Guard visited the Business Math classes and the Careers and Financial Education class. Both speakers were proud CVCS alumni, SSG Abbey Beebe and SPC Eric McKeown. The students learned how college could be paid for and different benefits they would receive such as life insurance, health insurance, better home loans and a great retirement plan. There are many career paths to follow in the National Guard such as welding, HVAC, chef, plumbing, carpentry, pipe fitting, medic, truck driver and many more!

Cassadaga Valley mourns the loss of a former long time teacher who dedicated decades of service to The Valley’s students. Valerie Holmes worked at Sinclairville Elementary School as a teacher, for 53 years, teaching kindergarten, second grade, math, and computer skills to her students. She made lifelong friends and influenced the life of many children! She was known for her caring, compassionate manner and generosity for students and staff and will be remembered as a very dedicated teacher.
