Senior Sendoff

DYLAN SHAFER

"My fellow classmates can tell you I was terrible with my attendence during my freshman and sophomore year.  My grades suffered due to this and I overall had a bad self-image.  Believing in what I knew I was capable of led me to show up more.  I also gained an amazing support system that helped me on this journey.  If you guys show up more for this stuff, it will all be worth it by the time you are seniors."

ATHENA RENSHAW

"Hi, my name is Athena Renshaw. My years at CVA have had their ups and downs.  I have always had good grades and perfect attendence.  I'm leaving everybody else as they get closer to finishing their high school years with a piece of advice: showing up really does matter.  I know the teachers say that all the time, but it really does.  Do the work and show up. School isn't anybody's favorite, but you will definitely want to look back and see all the accomplishments that you have achieved.  Lastly, I want to send my thanks to all the teachers who have helped me along the way.  Thank you and remember to live out the rest of high school to the absolute fullest."

KADENCE LYMAN

"Throughout my many years of Central Valley I have met so many incredible people and before I leave I would just like to say to those in the grades below to take risks,  get involved, and be kind.  This school, these people... They will be your life for the next year.....two years, etc. It is up to you what you do in these walls, but don't live a life where you look back and have regrets on things you could have done."

ELLOWYNN KOTCHIAN 

"It's safe to say my senior year was my biggest challenge. So to all of you I leave a little bit of advice. Get up, go to school, and turn in the assignments. Turn them in, even if you really do not want to do the assignment. If you don't know the answer, guess."

BALEIGH EYSAMAN 

"High school can be hard and overwhelming at times for many of us. And while I'm guilty of being overwhelmed by it, never once did I regret showing up here. It has given me so many opportunities to meet new friends, and make memories that I will cherish forever. If I wasnt for Julia. L, Mr.Judd, and Mrs. Forte, I couldn't have come for the small portion of the year that I did!"
