CVCS community! Due to the inclement weather, the JV and Varsity boys basketball games have been canceled for this evening. The Fitness Center will also be closed this evening. Please stay safe and warm!
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!
January events! If you have any questions, please call the main offices at SES and the MHS.
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!
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!
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!

The High School Science/STEM Club held their December meeting this week. The meeting was run by Vice-President, Addison Helwig. She planned, prepared and taught the club members how to make a Christmas slime. As you can see, they add a lot of fun!
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
The Key Club recently purchased and wrapped gifts for all 48 residents at Heritage Village. They also made 48 homemade cards. After several weeks of preparing, decorating and wrapping, three Key Clubbers went to personally deliver these gifts and spend time with each resident. We want to thank Natalie Hallett, Ginx Griffith and Lorelei Beichner for delivering the presents. A huge shoutout to CVCS alumni and past Key Club President, Caleb Dopson, for going to Heritage as well to spend time with the residents and pass out the cards. #ValleyProud #HolidaysInTheValley #HappyHolidays
The Valley Cafe made over 80 cookie trays with almost 2000 cookies to sell at the December cafe.
