Students interested in pursuing business careers had an incredible opportunity to attend Penn State Behrend’s Business Day, a free event for local high schools!
The day kicked off with an inspiring welcome from the President of the Business School and an admissions counselor, followed by breakout sessions led by Penn State professors in areas such as:
📊 Accounting & Finance
🌎 International Business
💻 Management Information Systems & AI
📈 Marketing & Project/Supply Chain Management
👩💼 Women in Business
🏅 Sports Management
After exploring their chosen fields, students enjoyed lunch in the campus dining hall and took part in a guided walking tour of the beautiful Behrend campus. The day wrapped up with an engaging keynote on Entrepreneurship, leaving students motivated and ready to dream big!
As a bonus, each student went home with a Financial Literacy book to continue their learning journey. 📚✨

Parents of winter sports athletes! If your athlete participated in a fall sport and is signed up for a winter sport, they do not need to start the FinalForms process all over again. You simply need to log in to their existing account, register for the new sport, and then will be required to re-sign the medical interval and concussion forms. The information is all retained in the form; it just needs to be re-signed due to NY rules and regulations.
Here's a quick video to explain. https://www.loom.com/share/a0db01b38a9840e1a0662e6f4cbf081c
JV/Varsity sports start 11/17 so final forms needs to be filled out prior to practice on 11/17/25

Recently Mrs. Richir and Mrs. Stevenson welcomed a special guest in Global 9 and Economics classes— Ms. Heather Daly, Lead Educator from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York! 💰
Originally planned as a virtual visit, Ms. Daly generously made the trip to Cassadaga, in person, to give students an inside look at how the Federal Reserve works — from its structure and purpose to the fascinating gold vaults stored right in New York City! 🏦
She also shared her inspiring personal journey — being the first in her family to attend college — and encouraged students to find a career you love. ❤️
Students were fully engaged and left with new insights, saying things like:
🗣️ “I didn’t know they had their own police force! I would like that job”.
🗣️ “It was a great day learning something I didn’t know about!”
🗣️ “Today went by so fast and was fun!”
A huge thank-you to Ms. Daly for bringing real-world financial learning to CVCS!

The new Middle School History Club held its first meeting in October! Students spent the afternoon assembling small gift bags for our local veterans, each including a heartfelt card of thanks for their sacrifice and service. ❤️💙
During the meeting, officers were elected for President, Vice President, and Media Coordinator, and students are already looking forward to meeting once a month to explore more history-related projects and community service opportunities.
Although the club is small, with just under ten members, Mrs. Richir fondly recalls that the High School History Club started the same way — and today it has nearly 50 active members! The future looks bright for our young historians! 🌟

REMINDER! On Friday, November 7, 2025 both of our buildings (MHS & SES) will conduct planned lockdown drills as part of our ongoing commitment to safety and emergency preparedness. New York State law requires public schools to notify parents about a planned lockdown drill to ensure safety and reduce potential trauma for students and staff.
These drills are scheduled in advance and provide an important opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to practice lockdown procedures in a calm and structured environment.
Following the drills, building administrators will meet with faculty and staff to debrief and identify practical ways to further enhance safety protocols.
If you have any questions, please contact the office at MHS or SES. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe school environment.
Join Ski Club and hit the slopes at Peek ’n Peak every Friday for eight weeks of lessons and fun—starting January 9th!
