IMPORTANT UPDATE ON THE SENIOR ATHLETE BANNERS!!!!!!
Parents/Guardians of Seniors,
Seniors who participate in athletics will have the opportunity to have an individual banner created for display at the school. These banners will be displayed for the duration of their senior year. It is anticipated that the Board of Education will surplus the banners at the end of the school year and they will likely be distributed to the participants. Students who participate in the performing arts will be offered the opportunity to have an individual banner created later in the school year.
This year, a single banner will be created displaying the student name and photograph, with the title, "Student Athlete." This will be done instead of a banner for each sports season. If an athlete participates in a Fall sport this will be your opportunity to participate and have a banner created. Students can choose to wear their fall sport uniform, CV Athletics/ school gear, or their own preferred attire.
NOTE: The same banner will be utilized if an athlete plays multiple sports throughout the school year. Participation is completely optional and up to each student.
Details are as follows:
-Picture Date: Monday, September 8th
-The cost will be borne by the District and will come at no cost to students.
-Who: Seniors who have been, or are currently a Student Athlete.
If your student wishes to participate, please ensure they are prepared with the attire they wish to be displayed in and report during the scheduled fall sports photos on Monday, September 8, 2025.
Thank you for your continued support of our students. We are excited to expand our showcase of our seniors and celebrate their contributions to CVCS. Any questions, call the MHS Office.
