Dear Cedar Valley Families,
We've had a fantastic week here at Cedar Valley—our students continue to impress us with their curiosity, kindness, and commitment to learning. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping make our school a place where students feel encouraged and inspired every day.
Just a quick reminder: Picture Day is coming up this Wednesday, September 17. It's always a fun day for students, and a great way to capture memories from the school year. Information on how to order pictures online is included in this newsletter, so please take a moment to review those details.
We appreciate all you do and look forward to another great week ahead! Go Jags!
