CVSD's APRIL VIRTUAL TOWN HALL: DEI
Don't miss this month's CVSD Virtual Town Hall on Wednesday, April 12th at 6:30 pm. The Virtual Town Hall will be facilitated by Williston DEI coach, Mike Fife, with the following focus: We will have a conversation about how Restorative Practices (RP) intersect with DEI work. We will begin with a conversation about attendees' experiences with RP and then move on to a question-and-answer session with RP experts who are doing this work in schools. We are hoping to be joined by staff from Up for Learning and Evan Sivo (CVSD).
Please visit the CVSD DEI site for the Zoom meeting information. It can also be found on the district's website calendar. We look forward to seeing you online!

Moana, JR. is a musical adaptation of the Disney animated film, bringing the adventures of Moana and her village of Motunui to life onstage. The musical features all the beloved songs from the film, including “How Far I’ll Go,” “Shiny,” and “You’re Welcome.”
This heartwarming coming-of-age story follows the strong-willed Moana as she sets sail across the Pacific to save her village and discover the truth about her heritage. Moana and the legendary demigod Maui embark on an epic journey of self-discovery and camaraderie as both learn to harness the power that lies within. With empowering messages of bravery and selflessness, Moana JR. is sure to bring out the hero within everyone.
General admission $6.00. Groups of four or more only $20 and will be available at the door.
