Last week, the CVUSD Board Room was transformed into a boutique-style shopping experience for our Conejo Closet's annual "Prom Dress Pursuit" event. Formal dresses lined the racks, along with ties, and tables of shoes and accessories for students to "shop" for their perfect prom look. All items are free of charge for CVUSD students. This event is coordinated each year by the CVUSD's Student Support Services team with students receiving invitations and/or informed of the event by their high school sites and school counselors.

Last Friday, Westlake High School hosted the CVUSD Unified Soccer Tournament. In front of a full stadium, our Unified Sports Teams from all three comprehensive high schools faced off with sportsmanship, inclusion, engagement and fun on full display. Each high school's Unified Sports program joins Athletes, students with disabilities, and Unified Partners, neurotypical peers, together on the same team. The Unified Teams are comprised of approximately half Athletes, and half Unified Partners. Each school has developed a unique model of stewardship for their Unified Sports Leagues with Special Education teachers, Adapted Physical Education teachers, and a variety of staff members, lending support and guidance to the teams, where teammates quickly build bonds and friendships through sports.

A big thank you to all of our dedicated staff members who work tirelessly to make this program a success. The CVUSD is so proud of our Athletes, Unified Partners and school communities for their support of this invaluable program!

Twenty Westlake High School members of Future Business Leaders of America attended the State Leadership Conference in Anaheim April 11-14 where they competed in various business events and attended workshops hosted by business professionals and entrepreneurs. Over 3,000 high school students from across the state competed at this event. Mia, Jai, and Spencer earned 1st place in Website Coding & Development and 2nd place in Business Management. Congratulations to all of our Warriors who competed!

Lang Ranch Elementary School is focused on building a strong community! As part of the school's Wellness Week, the Los Angeles Rams' Play 60 program came to the Ranch to emphasize the importance of being physically active for at least 60 minutes a day. Scholars had the opportunity to engage with mascot Rampage and members of the Rams community team. Together, they participated in various activities, tested their skills with different football drills, enjoyed healthy snacks and more. Thank you, Rams, for being role models to our scholars. Way to go, Wranglers!
