Dear CVES Families & Community, We have had a great start to the school year! Already over a full month of exciting events have been taking place within our classroom. PLEASE…Mark your calendars with important dates and return all paper work as soon as possible. It is very important that we have all your current information, including updated releases for who can pick up and drop off your student. (Make sure you include any service providers on the list as well as emergency contacts). We are excited to see where this year take us.

It’s been a very busy start to our school year here in Mineville! We have a few new staff members I would like to introduce: Heidi Wells is our new Counselor, joining James Anderson; our new Speech Therapist, replacing Cindy Haley, (retired), is Liz Hoffman; our new Teacher for our elementary Life Skills class is Molly Rascoe; Liz Theeman is our new Physical Therapist, Mary Murphy is our new Occupational Therapist, joining Eileen Goralzyck, and our new Art Teacher is Roxana Palmer. We welcome them to Team Mineville, and are already impressed with how well they have acclimated to and embraced our school.
In addition, we also now have two individuals preparing meals in the kitchen. Lynsay Roberts and Adele Huchro were both with us last year, although at that time Adele was working with the Head Start program. They continue to prepare both breakfast and lunch for our students and staff, as well as the Head Start program, from SCRATCH! When you open the refrigerator in the cafeteria, you find vegetables, cheeses, eggs – real food ingredients! We find that our students are very enthusiastic with the changes, and it is really nice to see them eating salad, fruit and vegetables. The meals are colorful, healthy and the students have choices.
