President’s Greeting - SEPTEMBER 5, 2020
Welcome to the 2020-21 school year.
My name is Susan Hawes, and I am the PTO president for the 2020-21 school year. This is my fifth year as a parent at CVHS. Our family includes a senior from the Class of 2020, and my youngest joins the Crash as a freshman Rhino this fall. In past years, I have served as VP for Fundraising and managed lunch sales for PTO.
PTO has spent the summer moving our familiar functions—fundraising and volunteering—online. You can donate to this year’s Friends and Family Campaign, sign up to volunteer, and even purchase shirts and other CVHS items online at www.Vanguardian.org. We will also do our best to relay important news from CVHS and HISD. Please visit Vanguardian often, as it is a work in progress and we will continue to update it.
We can safely say that this year is going to be unlike anything any of us have experienced. I know we can all work together to support our children and our school.
