The FUND RUN is back!
Horizon's Hawk Trot will be Wednesday, November 22nd. That's the day before Thanksgiving, so we'll burn some calories before the big feast day.
The money raised goes directly into our ASB budget. Our ASB supports many school activities including band, choir, orchestra, field trips, and intramurals, as well as interscholastic activities like guest speakers at assemblies and athletics. We know that students who participate in extracurricular activities and/or athletics have better attendance and academic success than students who do not and we work hard to provide diverse opportunities for all of our student body, but we can't do it without the support of our students, families, and community.
We will collect donations through an online portal until 11/20/23. There will be great prizes for those students who participate, including some fun incentives for those who helps get the most in donations. This is a fun competition that benefits everyone. Horizon brings in thousands of dollars that we spend on students! Our goal this year is $15,000. Here is the direct link for the donation website. https://wa-centralvalley-lite.intouchreceipting.com/HorizonFundRun
Vision and Hearing Screening
A Message from our school nurse Mrs. Mayfield:
We will be doing vision and hearing screenings on all 7th grade students on Wednesday 11/15/23.
If your child wears corrective lenses (contacts or glasses), please make sure they have them at school that day so I can do the vision test with their glasses ON.
If your child fails a vision or hearing screening at school, I will send a referral letter to you via mail typically within 2-4 weeks after the screening was performed (this time frame accounts for repeat screenings if needed). If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Mayfield at 558-4947 or email kmayfield@cvsd.org.
