Hi CAV Families,
Ms. Rebecca's Summer Camp is back again! Some of you have inquired about the Musical Theatre Summer Camp that I held last year and I was able to work out all of the details to hold it again this year! This is an opportunity to put on a short workshop production of Aristocats for those that are still looking for fun summer plans! I'm able to hold classes in our music room as a vendor at CAV. So exciting! The session has room for up to 22 applicants (first come first served). We'll also need a minimum of 10 students in order to fill out the necessary characters. So sign up as soon as possible to secure your spot! Deadline for applications is Friday, June 7th.

Sometimes life is challenging and we experience distress. This Virtual Calm Room was created to serve as a break and to help you find new ways to identify & manage strong emotions and build your resilience. These resources will hopefully allow you to reset back to a calm state of mind and body.
We encourage you to make it a priority to care for yourself in healthy ways. Not all coping strategies will feel right so we encourage you to explore some and find what works for YOU!

We have no field trips planned for the remainder of the school year.
We will post new field trips as soon as we have the details for the 25-26 school year schedule.

Other Important Information
Parent Volunteer Program
The Parent Volunteer Program was established to connect parents’ skills, passion, and abilities to their school community. Parent volunteers are the backbone of The Classical Academy program, and our parents’ leadership and talents are truly what make our school successful! You can find the link to log your volunteer hours in the weekly school updates (look for the ‘volunteer’ icon at the top of the newsletter). Please enter all the information correctly so that your hours are applied to the correct category/event.
As the year progresses, the Parent Volunteer Coordinator may email you with links to sign up for events that may need help as well as any needed donations. Parents are always welcome to volunteer where they would like and do not need to wait to be invited to help. Our parents are always welcome on campus and in the classroom!
