Pathways Activity Log (1).mp4CAV Message
Hi CAV Families,
I came into the school this morning to see the official sign out front. It is so exciting to see everything coming together.
Thank you to those that donated supplies for our play area. It is wonderful to see the kids having choices outside and more to interact with during recess time.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Here's to a wonderful week of learning! It is the last week of Unit 1! It is almost time to check it off your list.
Take care,
Kirstin Lasto, CAV Principal
