Friends and Family Campaign Donors
THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS DONORS
With the end of the year rapidly approaching, we'd like to take a moment to thank so many members of our community for their support of our Friends and Family Campaign. This year's campaign is raising money for a covered outdoor pavillion in the CVHS courtyard. This will be a beautiful and functional addition to our existing amphitheater, and will allow us to use the space in more ways.
This effort is spearheaded by CVHS parents Kevin McCarthy and Brent Nyquist, and we are grateful to them for the generous donation of their time and talents. Our Friends and Family Campaign goal for the 2015-2016 school year is $40,000. Together we have raised $26,349 to date.
