Great work, CVE's April and May Star Student winners! Our winners did an awesome job of working on APPRECIATION and KINDNESS for the last two months. Winners also got Pizza With The Principal for lunch today. Special thank you to Mandy McClure and Julia Wood for setting it all up, and to the Central Valley PTO for providing the pizza and the drinks. Have an awesome summer break, Cougar Nation!





Happy National Speech Language Pathologist Day! Thank you Candace Poss, Mandy McClure, and Carly O'Connor for everything you do for our students. Your dedication to helping our students communicate more effectively is truly remarkable, and we are fortunate to have you all with us at CVPS!

Congratulations to the kindergarten class of 2023 and the future class of 2035! CVPS is SO proud of you!






It was a perfect day today for the elementary students to have their field day. Thank you so much to Mr. Kratzer and Mrs. Kokes for putting the whole thing together, to Michelle Wood and the Randy Wood Memorial for donating all of the gatorade and water for the students, and to the high school leadership team students for helping run stations. Looks like Mr. Tyler. Mr. Ed, Mr. Jordan, and Mr. Kratzer got dunked in the dunk tank a few times!










Three field trips, ONE DAY! 3rd grade visited the Kearney Archway today and learned about the story of the adventurers who followed the Great Platte River Road and helped to build America. 1st grade visited the Hastings Museum and spent time in the Planetarium exploring the Earth, Moon, and Sun and participated in several different "out of this world" hands-on activities. And 5th grade attended the Groundwater Festival in Grand Island and learned about all aspects of groundwater and its importance to Nebraska.










The elementary school hosted Muffins With Mom today and we had an incredible turnout! Thank you so much to all of the Cougar Nation mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and guardians that showed up to enjoy a muffin, build a flower vase, and plant a flower. Special thank you to Kriewald Cookie Creations for the beautiful and delicious muffins, to Hilltop Gardens for donating the planting soil, and to the Central Valley PTO for providing the flower and the supplies for the craft.
