Dear Cavalier Families,

There is no school Monday to honor our country's Veterans. My Dad is a veteran, having served twenty years in the U.S. Navy. Growing up in a poor fishing village in the Philippines, the opportunity to join the U.S. Navy was a ticket out of a life of poverty for him. While in the Navy he was able to support not only our family but his family back in the Philippines as much as he could. I had a meager childhood but did not feel like I missed anything. My Dad was very proud when my sister and I graduated from college as a result of his hard work. My Dad is turning 80 in January. And while he is known for his wit, sense of humor and good nature, in his golden years he suffers from many physical ailments as a result of the being in the military as do many Veterans. I am grateful for his sacrifice every day. He is my personal hero. Please join me in thanking all of our Veterans for their service, especially Mr. Clark, Ms. Jazz, Mr. McCreesh, and the family members of our CVM community. Please see the video below.

This week's announcements:

Continuing announcements:

• All students and parents have the unique opportunity to receive individual and family therapy sessions at no cost through the Center of Mindful Relationships. If any student is interested in this, please fill out this form or scan the QR code on the flyer listed below.
  
A reminder that NO CELL PHONES or earbuds / headphones should be visible on campus. They should be turned off and put in backpacks. We found cell phones to be the cause of many conflicts due to social media. Parents, please support us with this. Do not contact your child through the cell phone during the day. Parents can always call the main office to relay a message to your student. Phones should not be on during CLUB TC and shouldn't be in sight until students are off-campus.
• Parents can register their students for Club TC on the school website or through the QR code below. The Club TC office is in Room 215, close to the white G street gate. Those arriving early must enter through the gate. After school dismissal is also through the white G street gate. Once students exit the Auditorium gate at 3:10 pm they are not allowed to enter back for Club TC.

Please feel free to contact myself or Assistant Principal

Mr. Kevin.Willard@sweetwaterschools.org with any questions.
