This past Friday, May 4th, CVCS squared off against Eastside Christian under the lights for their third and final matchup for the 2012 season with your Lady Eagles Varsity Softball Team completing the sweep. After 3 1/2 hours, a 20 minute blackout during the top half of the 7th, and several lead changes, CVCS came away with the 21 - 14 victory, clinching second place in the San Joaquin League and securing a playoff spot in the CIF Southern Section Playoffs for the third straight year. Senior Franny Manzo pitched 7 strong innings and helped herself offensively with another multi-hit, multi-RBI performance. Christine Girolamo straightened out an Eastside fastball and lined her hardest hit ball of the 2012 season into the right-center field gap while also playing a solid 1st base. Jordan Hodge and Tasha Peterson continued their hot hitting which contributed to the 21-run outburst.

Monday, CVCS faced their cross-town rival SVC for the second time this year and suffered their second loss in a row to the tough Warrior team. With the help of some great defense early on, Senior Jordan Hodge did a great job keeping your Lady Eagles close, pitching 5 strong innings. Even in the loss, the Lady Eagles showed a tremendous amount of heart and fought hard both offensively and defensively. Go Eagles!

SQUIRM is now underway with students showing enthusiasm about reading and meeting their goals.  The first SQUIRM tally sheets are due on Friday.  Please mark your calendars to join us for a SQUIRM assembly on Thurs. May 10th in the worship center:  JK-3 at 8:30am and 4-6 at 9:30am.  

SQUIRM, or Super Quiet Uninterrupted Individualized Reading Minutes, promotes daily reading by our students. It is our desire that each student participates in meeting our weekly SQUIRM goals that have been set by our classroom faculty. Although this is a reading program for our students, we want to encourage family time, turning the TV and computer games off, and promoting the enjoyment of reading a great book. Reading is one of the best activities that a family can do together! Students that see their parent(s) reading will see positive role modeling and begin a life-long enjoyment and passion for literature.

The 4-6th grade honor choir students participated in the ACSI Choral Festival on May 4th.  It was an amazing event.  The students received a perfect score by the judges!  The students received the highest scores available and their performance was outstanding!  We are blessed at CVCS to have such talented students who love the Lord and want to give Him their best in all they do.  The students represented CVCS with honor and showed Christian character and behavior throughout all rehearsals, break-times, and performances.  Congratulations students!

State of the School meeting with Dr. Sipus

SHINE Auction Winner, Shayla Williamson, 3rd grade, spent last Friday, May 4th in Mrs. Hannum's shoes being the Elementary Principal for a day!  It was an exciting day for Shayla she is started her day with her very own clipboard and whistle.  She lead morning announcements and flag ceremony.  Then she visited classrooms and distributed "Caught being good" pencils and SQUIRM prizes to students.  Shayla participated in a special "State of the School" meeting with Dr. Sipus and talked about her recommendations to improving the school.  Shayla invited two special friends to her office to have lunch and made other announcements in various classrooms.  The highlight of her day was when she called her classroom over the intercom to announce that she was canceling a test and instead had a movie afternoon with icecream cups and cookies with her classmates!
