August 30, 2011

            Please bear with me as I begin blogging for the first time. I hope to use this blog as a way to communicate with the parents and community members of Cedar Valley about our high level of instruction and our many activities.
Speaking of activities UIL teams are in full swing. Volleyball has a scrimmage this Thursday and football begins their season next week by playing Canyon Vista.  Go JAGS!  The band kicks-off their fundraiser tomorrow (please show your support). I attended the executive PTA Council meeting tonight and I must say that I am impressed with their commitment to support the teachers and students of CeVMS. I look forward to working with them throughout the year. Please show your support by volunteering and or joining the PTA. Annual dues are $10.50. I saw some good instruction today as I walked the halls.  Dr. Z’s Orchestra class sounded excellent and Mrs. Popov was dancing right along with her dance class today. 
Please take time to check out the updated web-page.  If you want to receive information about the happenings at CeVMS, sign up for e-news by clicking on the link located on the right side of the front page of our website.  You have to sign up each year in order to receive the information. This Thursday (September 1), I am hosting a “Meet and Greet” session from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. It is an informal come and go type meeting.  Open house is on the 6th of September from 6:30 to 8:20.  We will have a PTA meeting to discuss this year’s budget starting at 6:15. 
As you may know we have been and are still under construction. Thankfully all the interior construction is complete (except for some finishing touches).  The construction of our second gym and weight room are well underway. I attached a picture so you can see its progress. The GC is doing a wonderful job communicating and working with me and the staff.  I am excited to be a part of both the academic and physical growth of CeVMS this year and for years to come.  Welcome back to another successful and productive year at CeVMS.
