Dear Parents,
The Great Kindness Challenge is a week dedicated to performing acts of kindness nationwide. All CVE students are encouraged to participate in our dress up days and perform simple acts of kindness throughout the week. Also, we will be hosting a “Kindness for Kittens and Canines Drive” to collect supplies and food for our local Animal Shelter. You may send the following items: Dog or Cat Food (Wet or Dry), Dog Treats, Cat Litter, Water and Food Bowls, and Chew Toys. Together, we can make a positive difference in our school and community.
