The Canyon View PTO is pleased to present our 2024-2025 Board Nominees. Current PTO members will have the opportunity to cast their vote between April 29th and May 2nd at 6:00 pm. An email will go out to all current members by April 29th with the link to cast an electronic vote. Paper ballots will also be available in the office to any member who chooses not to cast an electronic vote. One position remains open for the 2024-2025 school year. If you are interested in serving as the Technology Officer, we would love the help! Please email caseymac81@gmail.com by Thursday, April 25th for questions about the position and to be added to the ballot.
Team CV is pleased to present the nominees for our 2024-2025 Foundation Board. We have 4 openings: The Vice President serves as the primary aide to the President/ Co-Presidents and serves in place of the President in his/her absence. The Secretary's primary responsibility is to keep an accurate record of minutes at each meeting. The Gift Card Chair coordinates our Gift Card Scrip Fundraiser which includes taking orders and then processing and distributing gift cards. Traditionally, the main fundraising period is in the fall prior to the holiday season, but the chair can also opt to add a spring fundraising round. The Grants & Sponsorships Chair is responsible for finding and applying for grants to subsidize programs at the school. This person may work closely with the chair for our main Foundation events such as the STEAM Fest and Silent Auction to fundraise and find sponsors. If you are interested in learning more, please contact vp@canyonviewfoundation.org .
Make school supply shopping easy by ordering a supply kit! Eliminate the hassle of going store to store to find all of the supplies your child will need for next school year. These kits provide the supplies requested by your child's teacher while saving money and giving back to the school. Simply visit http://www.educationalproducts.com/shoppacks and enter code CAN083. Your child's supplies will be delivered to his/her classroom by the first day of school saving you the stress of transporting heavy bags for each of your children and giving you more time to focus on capturing special memories. The deadline to order is June 23rd. Purchase through this program is voluntary and not required.
Celebrate your students accomplishments or special events with a personalized message on the CVES marquee! This fundraiser benefits the 5th Grade Committee and allows you to purchase a message for $25 to be displayed for 2 days on the digital marquee sign in front of the school. There are 2 message slots available on a first come, first serve basis for each 2-day period. Please visit https://bit.ly/cvesmarquee2024 to purchase. Participation is voluntary and not required.
Coyote parents (members or not) are invited to attend our monthly Team CV meetings, especially if you are interested in learning what the PTO & Foundation do, how money that is raised is spent, or are interested in training or shadowing for a position on the board/s next year. Many of our current board members are graduating out with their 5th graders this year and having people who are comfortable taking over key roles is important to ensuring we maintain a strong partnership for our younger kids. Though formal childcare is not available, children are invited to attend meetings and sit in the room with parents. Meetings occur every first Thursday of the month at 6 pm in the Innovation Station or via Zoom. For Zoom info, please DM us to be added to the distribution list.
Our next meeting is Thursday, May 2nd. Hope to see you there!
Hello Canyon View Volunteers,
We are looking for volunteers for upcoming events. These are some smaller jobs for parents/ guardians who are looking to start with a smaller task. Seasoned CV volunteers are also welcome, of course!
The Silent Auction. Also a Foundation event to raise money for the same programs listed above (see Jog-A-Thon). Date is May 17. The Silent Auction is an online auction with the big finale at the Coyote Roundup. (See below for more info about the Roundup.) The Silent Auction also has a chair and is looking for committee members to help. Tasks include finding vendors to make donations, communicating with CV room parents, putting together baskets, and other organizational tasks.
Garden. The PTO Garden is looking for some more help. They really need someone who can volunteer 2 hours, once a month, to cut back weeds.
The Coyote Roundup. Our big annual event at CV. Date is May 17. It is our carnival style event, with games, food, cake walk, prizes, and our Silent Auction in the MPR. There are multiple committees for the Roundup and we need more volunteers.
Thank you so much for helping make our school such a fun community! If interested or to learn more, please reply to me (just me) or you can email the Foundation or PTO Presidents (see above).
Thank you,
Sabrina Monahan
PTO and Foundation VP of Volunteers
Thank You Very Mochi by Paul Matsushima and Craig Ishii
When Kimi and her family visit Grandma and Grandpa's house for New Year's mochitsuki, they discover the mochi-machine is broken. After initial fears that mochitsuki will be cancelled, Grandpa proposes an interesting, yet old-fashioned solution of making mochi the hand-pounded way.
Big Dreams, Small Fish by Paula Cohen
But her parents think she’s too young to help. And anyway they didn’t come to America for their little girl to work. “Go play with the cat!” they urge.
This doesn’t stop Shirley’s ideas, of course. And one day, when the rest of the family has to rush out leaving her in the store with sleepy Mrs. Gottlieb…Shirley seizes her chance!
Wanda's Words Got Stuck, by Lucy Rowland and Paula Bowles
Wanda the witch is so shy she can’t talk at school. No matter how hard she tries, the words simply won't come out. But when another quiet little witch named Flo joins her class, it seems that Wanda’s not the only one who gets nervous sometimes. Then disaster strikes at the school-wide magic contest. Will Wanda have the courage to shout out the magic words and save her new friend?
