Drama and Music Moment...
FANTASTIC feedback and CLASSY comments about your school plays continue to come my way. You ALL did a WONDERFUL job! THANK YOU to everyone in our school family for your kindness, help, and support with our drama and music program. You are appreciated!
Our next event is Vail Pride Day (VPD).
When: Saturday, February 15, 2020 @ “Vail Pride Day Finale Parade.”
Time: 4:00pm (30-minute walking parade) Drop off & Line up 3:45pm in front of Thurber Hall.
Family Pick Up after the parade at the West end of Thurber Hall.
Performing Along Route: “Civano Kids Seize the Day.”
Please help your students review the words and dress like a “NEWSIE”.
Costume idea: Wear a pair of capri length pants (or jeans), a short sleeve shirt, suspenders (if you have them), short socks with tennis shoes and have a rolled-up newspaper in hand.
You can help us plan for the parade by letting us know if your child will be participating. Please email Lydia Crain with your child's name to confirm their attendance! Thank You!
Civano Kids Seize the Day – Lyrics
Verse 1: “Watch out we’re on our way.
Watch out we’re on our way (Echo).
Civano kids are here to stay.
Civano kids are here to stay (Echo).
We’re in no hurry…
Learning’s a journey…
Watch how we seize the day!”
Verse 2: “Friends of the friendless, seize the day.
Friends of the friendless, seize the day (Echo).
Raise up the torch and light the way.
Raise up the torch and light the way (Echo).
Proud and defiant…
We’ll slay the giant…
Let us seize the day!”
Ending: “Neighbor to neighbor…
Big and small…
Civano kids will do it ALL!”
See You Soon,

Parent Surveys...
As per VSD’s mission statement, we exist to ". . . PROVIDE PARENTS WITH SAFE AND
NURTURING SCHOOL COMMUNITIES, WHERE THEIR CHILDREN CAN OBTAIN A
QUALITY EDUCATION."
Please let us know how we are doing by completing this brief survey (it will only take 2 to 4
minutes).
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VSDParentSurvey2020
If you would prefer a paper copy, please stop by the office to pick one up to complete and submit.
We take these surveys very seriously. Each year we compare results to the results of prior
years and look for trends in improvement and areas that need attention. We carefully read
every comment and study results with the Vail Governing Board.
We also use the results for both teacher and administrative evaluations.
Please help us help you by providing the quality responses needed to make the
results meaningful. The survey is open through 5:00 pm on Friday, February 28, 2020.
News from CPA...
Upper School outdoor renovation: Thanks to the hard work of the Airman Leadership School class 20-B from Davis Monthan AFB and volunteers from our own school community, including the Hayes family, who spearheaded the project, upper schoolers can now enjoy a dramatically spruced up space with lots of new seating, a new gazebo, and a basketball hoop, among other improvements. Upcoming enhancements will include a new chicken coop to replace the deteriorating one we’re currently using. Thanks again to all who came out to help!
Next CPA meeting: The next general meeting for the Civano Parent Association will be held at the upper school on Thursday, March 26 at 6:00 p.m. Childcare will be provided, and we’d love to see you there for input and support.
Save the date: Mom’s Night Out - May 2. Women in Jeopardy at the Arizona Theatre Company. A wonderful evening of theater and time with your girlfriends...plus fifty percent of the ticket price will benefit the Civano Parent Association! More details coming soon.
