Central Valley Home School - April News

                                                CENTRAL VALLEY HOME SCHOOL


April began with the CVHS combined Open House and Talent Show held at Roosevelt.  Our students and their families ate cookies while enjoying the student work decorating the auditorium.  Then, many of our students displayed their individual talents ranging from dance, gymnastics, recitations, and stand-up comedy to such musical exhibitions as guitar duets, singing, and piano.  Our choir groups all sang, and the K-1 Farm Class recited poetry and sang “Down on Grandpa’s Farm.”

Next came the field trip to the McAfee Organic Dairy near Kerman.  Students and parents learned about raw milk and its production while riding in a “tour mobile” around the dairy.  The free-range cows were definitely “happy” cows!

Most recently was the STAR Fun Day.  Our staff came up with this idea to combine fun activities with necessary STAR testing for 8th graders and practice testing for grades 2-4.  So, at 12:00 on April 18 following the testing, our students and their families gathered at Teapot Park for picnicking, ice cream sundaes, graduation planning, and a tour of the fire station.  It was a successful work and play event!
