CVU Celebrations

Dear CVU Community: For those of you who are new to CVU, this weekly publication celebrates the bright spots in our community--the moments when our aspirational values meet reality. More often than not, I am highlighting pictures like the one found below. Thank you to the many, many Flight School leaders who gave up their last day of summer to welcome our newest students! Let's go, Redhawks! To get a full sense of the first day fun, check out this video highlighting our Core community-building activity at the end of the day. Finally, to all of our caregivers, parents, and families, thank you for your support to get the year up and running!

• Don't forget to join us on Tuesday, September 6 to see Red Baraat and the Birdmen at the Flynn's Playing Fields events at CVU. 6-8pm!
• Picture Day is on Thursday, September 8. Picture Day Order Link

Students, I appreciate your willingness to dock or bag cellphones as we make a collective push to be present together.

Asa and Kyle, Student Presidents, kicked off the school year in the gym by giving a speech to over 1500 people--the first time we've all been together since 2020 (thanks for the photo, Debbie).

Thank our Maintenance and IT Staff who worked tirelessly this summer to ensure our doors could open!

Alison Duback and Lizz Lach are the original Flight School aviators. Great work.

Award winning speaker and documentarian Dan Habib provided a powerful professional development session on inclusion in schools and beyond. Check out his film Including Samuel and thank you to CVU parents for suggesting him as a speaker.

Also, Dr. Joelle van Lent worked with us to learn more about cultivating adaptive resilience in ourselves and in our students.
