Enoch having final awards assembly

Our first ever school-wide art show was a huge success. Parents came in droves to buy their student’s artwork. The turnout was incredible.

We now have a nice art fund to buy needed supplies. We realize we can do a few things better for next time, and we appreciate the support.

May 25 was proclaimed Enoch Elementary day, and we had a big celebration carnival. This was also the culmination activity for our reading incentive program. Our final awards assembly will be Friday at 9:30 a.m. Seating is very limited, and parents are welcome to attend.

School will be excused at 2:30 on Friday.

Goodbye to Mrs. Lucy Venables. Enjoy your retirement. You deserve it!

We have had a wonderful year at Enoch Elementary. Students, we will miss you. Have a safe summer. See you next August!

CMS has School to Watch celebration

Thanks to those who joined us for our National Schools To Watch Celebration on Wednesday. We appreciate the efforts of all those involved to make this an enjoyable evening!

The CMS Student Council and GYC Presidency worked hard this year to organize many assemblies, activities and fundraisers. They enjoyed a trip to Fiesta Fun for their year-end trip. Thanks for all your hard work.

The play “Guys and Dolls Jr.” was performed for the school/public and was a huge success thanks to Mrs. Megan Nelson and her talented students.

Warrior Pride recipients for May are Sixth – Kourtney Keene, Seventh – Brooke Westwood, and Eighth – Bryce Cooper.

We would like to congratulate our great students and staff for their accomplishments this year and wish everyone an enjoyable summer. Also, thanks to the community for their support.

CVHS PTSA expresses thanks for support

CVHS PTSA expresses thanks to the parents, students, teachers, and extended community for the outstanding support that has been shown to us this year.

Donations of time, resources, money, and experience have been abundant throughout the year. Our school has greatly benefited from the outpourings of these donations. Together, we have seen great success in the many events that have taken place this year.

As the school year closes, there are a few events still to occur. Graduation, of course, tops the list. A hearty congratulations to our graduating seniors! We wish our graduates success and happiness in their future endeavors.

The traditional Grad Night celebration will be an “Extreme Adventure,” with games, food, prizes, socializing and lots of fun. Tickets can be purchased in the office for $45 before the celebration or for $50 at the door.

The Grad Night committee has worked tirelessly to plan this night and it promises to be an amazing event. Thanks to Melanie Melling and her committee for taking on this enormous task!

Finally, a special thanks to the PTSA board for all that has been done this year. Much of the work is “behind the scenes,” but brings great rewards not only to the recipients of the service, but also to those who do the work itself. Thank you!
