Greetings!
Two major kinds of positive excitement can be felt around the school these days. The first is pretty obvious - with just a few weeks left, we have all sorts of end-of-the-year activities going on or being planned, soon to end with graduation and summer vacation!
The second is perhaps less obvious to many people, but we're also well into the planning for next year. As we expand to include Grade 2, Christy will be taking on the Grade 2-3 multi-age classroom and Amanda will be moving to Grade 4. We've already found our new English Language Arts teacher, and she's going to be a perfect fit for CVA!
On Friday, the staff will be at an all-day retreat where we will be developing plans to enhance all three parts of our name: Cyber, Village, and Academy. This work will result in a clearer definition of what CVA is all about. Stay tuned - we'll share the results of our work as it develops!

Study Center Closed
The study center will be CLOSED on Friday, May 10th, due to the staff retreat. No CVA staff will be in the building on that day, so please do not plan to come in to work at school. Staff will be available to answer student questions about school work via e-mail.
The study center will still be open on Thursday, May 9th.

Talent Show and Silent Auction
What: CVA Talent Show & Silent Dessert Auction
Where: CVA Gym
Date: Thursday, May 16, 2013
Time: Talent Show beginning at 7:00 P.M. (Dessert Auction during Intermission)
Your Part
- Bring in a dessert for the auction. (Tables will be set up for the dessert auction near the entrance of the auditorium.)
- Support CVA by bidding on the desserts.
- Cheer on our students as they display visual and creative talents.
Silent Auction Guidelines
- Desserts will be placed on tables near the entry. Please have them set out prior to the beginning of the talent show.
- You are to wander around (socialize), feasting your eyes on the scrumptious desserts that are up for bid, signing your name and dollar amount to any and all that make your mouth water.
- Make sure to go back to double (and triple) check your favorites to be sure that no one out-bids you!
- At the end of the allotted auction time (intermission), all bids will cease.
- Immediately following the intermission, winners of the delicious desserts will be announced. Payment is needed at this time.

Class Photos
This year the CVA Parent Group is sponsoring class photos (grades 3 - 12). Pictures will be taken during recess on Tuesday, May 14th.
An order form will be placed in all mailboxes next week. Class pictures will be 8 x 10 and include the names of all classmates, including those who are not able to participate on the day. There is a discount for multiple orders from a single family. Pricing is $5 for 1, $8 for 2, and $10 for 3. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who have made this project possible.
