Greetings!
Our Open House last night was very well attended with several families choosing either the Fusion Program or the High School for their children. It might interest you to note that our current enrollment is 144. 10 High School, 18 PASCAL and 116 in the Fusion Program. Due to so much public response, the deadline for the IRS decision regarding teacher retirement participation has been extended. If you haven't yet done so, please assist us in preventing the adoption of unfair financial regulations that will prevent Charter School teachers from participating in state retirement funds. Click here to take action and please forward this email to other public charter school supporters. David Alley |

Volunteer to be a History Day Judge - Please!
We are in great need of volunteers for History Day @CVA. We need 20 judges and we only have 5 at this point. If we have 20 judges, each judging team of two will judge 4-5 projects and we can be done in an hour. If we don't have 20 judges, the event will last much longer than 3:00 to 4:00 on Tuesday, February 28. Please help us stay on schedule and volunteer today! Cherie will give you all the information before the event including questions to ask and brief forms to fill out for each project. Judges will meet in the Global Studies room at 2:15 and begin judging at 3:00. Then they will meet in the GS room again after the judging is over to try to determine who will go on to Regionals. Did we mention there are treats? Please contact Cherie to volunteer!

Pennies for Patients updates
Pennies for Patients is a service learning program in which kids collect spare change to help people with blood cancer. We still have 1 week left to collect money in order to reach our goal of $400 - the last day to make donations is Friday, Feb 17. We will still have not reached our goal of $400 after our second week of collecting donations, but we are getting closer!!!
Funds are collected from friends and family in honor of local student survivors and current patients.
Our goal by Friday, Feb 17 is to reach $400. If the students achieve/surpass this goal, the CVA Student Council/Eco Team will organize a water-balloon fight at the end of the year picnic. To learn more about the LLS or Pennies for Patients, please click here to follow the link to their website.
