Cavalier Newsflash

Congratulations to our SCPA Band and Drama programs for their excellent performances last week. Our Drama students put on an awesome show on Thursday and Friday as they performed their interpretation of The Internet is Ditract - OH LOOK A KITTEN! by Ian McWethy. The play was hilarious and our students did an amazing job. Kudos to Ms. Agosto for preparing our students for an awesome show.

Our Band program also had an awesome night this past Thursday, performing in the SUHSD Fall Band Showcase at San Ysidro High School. Under the direction of Mr. Llamas, our students combined with all SUHSD Middle School Band programs to blanket the entire football field and put on an awesome show.

Check out some of the pictures from the play and band showcase!

Thank you for your hard work, dedication and remember;

At CVM we work HARD, we dream BIG, we believe in OURSELVES and we never, ever , GIVE UP!

We will have a Faculty Meeting this Wednesday 11/20/19 after school in the Parent Center (403).

This Wednesday during Advisory we will be hosting our PR2 Student Recognition Assembly in the MPB. More info to follow from Ms. Price.

This week’s wellness tip from the counseling center is gratitude. As we get ready for thanksgiving, think of what you are grateful for in your life. Consider what you’re actually grateful for, take a moment to picture each one in your mind and ask yourself, why are you grateful for this? Can you feel the experience of that gratitude in your body?

Not only will practicing gratitude feel good in the moment, but studies have found that doing so can strengthen your relationships and your mental health in the long run.

Also, check out this great article on mindfulness!

This week on Thursday 11/21/19 a representative from CANVAS will be on campus to provide CANVAS Training. This is a voluntary PD that you may attend during your prep-time. The sessions should be small enough for you to be able to ask specific questions about CANVAS. Sessions will take place in room 108 in the main office.

Hope you can take advantage of the opportunity to improve your CANVAS skills!

We will be having our annual Turkey Trot on Thursday during Lunch. Come out and support our Cavaliers!

This Friday our Counselors will be hosting a College Fair during Lunch. This will be an extended lunch period so students have plenty of time to visit all the college information booths and complete a scavenger hunt.

This Friday 11/22/19 our Social Science Department will their Rise-Up Friday intervention. This is an opportunity for students to improve their grade by staying after school on Friday to work with our teachers to attain mastery of specific core standards.

Please make sure you take this opportunity to show mastery and improve your grade!
