Principal's Message
Campo families,
This quarter is flying by so quickly. Can you believe we are two weeks away from Spring Break? Parents please continue to monitor student grades and progress in Infinite Campus and Students continue to stay on top of your academics. We understand there have been different struggles throughout this year. If you need any support please reach out to your teachers, counselors, or administrator for guidance.
We would like to Congratulate Officer Dietz our School Resource Officer for being selected as the "Difference Maker" through the Speak Up Stand Up Save a Life organization. Campo Verde is lucky to have such a caring and dedicated SRO that serves our entire community. This recognition is well deserved and we appreciate everything Officer Dietz does for our Campo Family on a daily basis.
Thank you
Krista Cox, Ed.D.

National merit
Congratulations to Lauryn Brandt! Lauryn was named as a National Merit Finalist by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for the Class of 2021. Last fall, Lauryn was named as a semi-finalist based on her outstanding PSAT score and applied to the next phase of the competition. National Merit Finalists are chosen based on their academic abilities, skills and achievements both in and out of the classroom. Lauryn is a leader in many clubs and activities and is a member of the Coyote Family who consistently demonstrates exceptional Character, Values, Honor and Scholarship. She is a four-year member and current President of Campo Verde's most advanced dance group; the Soulmatic Rhythm Dance Company (SRDC). Lauryn commits extra time to the performing arts by participating in Unified Dance, sharing her love for dance as well as her compassion for others. Lauryn is a generous and kind person who also lends her time to helping others through Link Crew and Key Club. Given her achievements and character, it also is fitting that Lauryn is an active member of the National Honor Society. We are so pleased to announce her status as a finalist, an achievement that places her in the top .5% of students nationwide and makes her eligible for unique scholarship opportunities. Our Campo Family is so proud of Lauryn!

key club
Each year, CVHS Key Club with Gilbert Public Schools recognizes graduating students who have made a commitment to go above and beyond to serve in the community. Students who volunteer 200 or more hours of service throughout their high school career may be recognized at graduation in the program and with an Honor Cord. There are four different award levels:
- White (200-399 hours),
- Green and White (400-599 hours),
- Double Copper (600-799 hours)
- Service with Distinction Multi-Colored cord (800+ hours).
The complete application and required documentation must be RECEIVED by 2:30 pm on Thursday, March 4th, 2021. Applications received after this time and date will not be accepted.
Please request a copy of your service hours record from Mrs. Kenna King in the bookstore. All hours must have been completed between the summer before freshman year through the time of the application. In addition, all hours must have been submitted and approved through the Community Service Coordinator, Ms. Diggs.
Because of the financial burden that purchasing these honor cords has placed upon the Key Club community service club, members have determined that it is not sustainable that we continue to do so. Once applications have been evaluated, a letter will be delivered to the students. If the application is approved, any student who would like an honor cord will need to make a payment of $10 to the club by Monday, April 5, 2021. The cords will be ordered and will arrive in time to wear for Baccalaureate and Graduation ceremonies.

Choir
On February 5th, 2021 Campo Verde Advanced Vocal Ensemble met with the Advanced Vocal Ensemble's from around the district to perform for each other and receive a clinic from Dr. Craig Peterson from Mesa Community College. The singers sang two jazz charts, "The Luckiest" arranged by Kerry Marsh and "You're So High (You're So Low)" arranged by Matt Falker. The students represented Campo well and were able to experience something similar to the festivals they would normally be performing for this time of year. Students finished the day by enjoying a boxed lunch from Jason's Deli. This festival was a success due to the support of the CVHS Choir Boosters. We are so thankful for all they do to promote and support Campo Verde Choirs.
Classes are currently prepping for their Pops Concert which will feature songs from Broadway. The performance will take place on March 18th at 7 pm in the Campo Verde Auditorium. As well, we're planning for the return of Campo Idol for the evening of March 20th at 7 pm. Stayed tuned for updates!!
You can always follow CVHS Choirs on Twitter and Instagram under the handle @CVHSChoirs.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. We have a display showing resources from Bloom365 that help students see relationship warning signs while also giving tips on how to handle negative situations. We filled the display with nonfiction books with information on negative and positive relationships and we also have fiction books that show examples of negative relationships to help teens see the red flags and warning signs.
