COUNSELORS HOST BINGO IN THE LIBRARY!

MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL HOSTED BY ORANGE MANDARIN COMMUNITY BOOSTER CLUB

The Viking Culture this year is to "Win the Day". We challenge all students and staff to pick 1 goal each day to accomplish. When you have succeeded with that 1 goal, you have "Won the Day!"

Check out the NEW Bulletin Board located in the main office!

Link to "Win the Day" - Mark Batterson

Here are a few ways to "Win the Day"

• "Flip the Script" on struggles/challenges and make them successes!
• Follow "Kaizen" - strive for continuous improvement each day!
• "Be Kind" - smile, say hello, look out for your fellow vikings! Remember - everyone is going through a battle we may not know.. Be Kind Always!

October 2, 2023 is World Day of Bullying Prevention®! On this first school day of October and throughout the whole month, students, schools, and communities all over the world go BLUE together against bullying.

KINDNESS is the quality or state of being kind. Give KINDNESS because you can. Do not judge. Learn other cultures because if you don’t you will never know what wonderful people can be in your life. Be RESPECTFUL to all people. Why? Because the world needs more people who are. And there is no one better to do this than ALL OF US!!

STUDENTS MAY WEAR BLUE SHIRTS ON MONDAY! BLUE JEANS ARE ALLOWED IF THE STUDENT IS WEARING A BLUE SHIRT!

What is the PFSO?

The Cerro Villa Parent Faculty Student Organization (PFSO) is a non-profit organization that assists the faculty and staff in enhancing the education experiences of our children.

​The PFSO assists with many programs around the school, including dances, Student of the Month, Honor Society, and the 8th Grade Promotion Party. Without your support, these events would not be possible. Most importantly, the PFSO also supports the faculty and staff at Cerro Villa in acquiring items they need for their classrooms in order to enhance our children’s educational experiences.

Did you know that the CV PFSO can receive “free money” from Ralphs every time you shop? This summer we received $31.51 from just 8 participating families' grocery runs. Imagine how much more we could earn if you, your friends, and family sign up too!
