In celebration of Red Ribbon Week, the Middle School Student Council held its Fall Sidewalk Chalk Celebration. Students were invited to decorate the sidewalk panels in front of the Middle School with colorful pictures of fall scenes. The students' creativity did not disappoint! Great art work, Crusaders! 😄

Central Valley students enjoyed an energetic assembly that got the entire auditorium up and moving! Fitness Coach and current Survivor cast member Ori Jean Charles, known as Coach OJC, visited CV to share insights on fitness, nutrition, and the importance of staying active.

As a dedicated personal trainer, Coach OJC focuses on guiding individuals toward becoming their healthiest selves. Throughout the assembly, young Crusaders learned about healthy habits, including drinking water every day, trying new fruits and vegetables, and getting good sleep every night.

Coach OJC emphasized three key points: “Moving better, eating better and thinking better.” Students were reminded that wellness is their superpower, a great message for Red Ribbon Week!

Today’s Red Ribbon Week theme for MWHS was “Throwback Tuesday.” From sock-hop skirts in the 50’s, bamboo earrings, "at least two pair," from the ‘80’s and 90's, to the iconic Nelly Band-Aid of the 2000’s, Crusaders understood the assignment!

First grade students in the classes of Mrs. Adler, Ms. Heffner, and Mrs. Flood enjoyed visits from special guests during the annual Community Helpers Assembly.

During this highly anticipated event, parents and guardians shared insights about their careers and explained how their jobs make a difference in the community. Our young Crusaders learned about a variety of professions, including nursing, construction, library services and detective work.

The event was marked with smiles, laughter and curious questions as students learned more about their family members’ careers and the important role they play in the community. What a memorable day for all!
