“Soar to New Horizons” 2021-2022 School Theme
Dear Parents,
As the first quarter comes to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to remind our students and families about some of our important work with students. If our students could learn just one life-changing principle, it would be “respect”. We want our kids to respect one another, school property, and the learning process.
Respect One Another: To honor how very different and unique we all are is a gift you can teach your children. Recently as many of you may know, I was diagnosed with GBS. I bring this up because when I took my first “walking outing” with my husband Kent, we went to Costco. I could walk with the cart and no one would know, right? Well, I did great until I reached the back of the store. Then… I got tired, and when I got tired, I started to spasm out of control. I learned firsthand what it feels like to be singled out and to be the target of another person’s visual fixation! it hurt my old lady’s feelings. I don’t want anyone to feel singled out for being different at CVHS. We have such loving students, but once in a while, students can be singled out and hurt each other.
Respect School Property: With the Tik Tok challenges, we have had a few students think it’s a good idea to destroy a few items in the school. In these instances, we had the student pay for the damage. Please talk with your children regarding how expensive this can be for families.
Respect the Learning Process: To learn, students must respect the process that it takes to obtain knowledge. Respect the teacher and other students by engaging and working hard to finish assignments and homework.
I hope you all welcome the opportunity to talk with your children about “respect” so we can make learning at CVHS a positive experience for everyone!
Let’s make October a great month for respect!

4. Community Wreath Community Fundraiser- Community Opportunity
Wreaths Across America is a national 501C3 organization committed to honoring fallen veterans during the holiday season in two ways. First, to sell wreaths for $15 each which covers harvesting the trees, assembly, and shipping. $5 of the $15 dollars will go directly to our sponsoring chapter, and we are donating those proceeds to military youth and family services on Camp Williams. Second, to gather volunteers to lay the wreaths-hopefully as families, and standing at the graveside personally thank the fallen veterans. Our chapter will be sponsoring the Utah State Veterans Cemetery in Bluffdale.
Any students or their families that would like to purchase a wreath, or sign up to volunteer please contact
