Dear Families,

We've been notified that there is a natural gas leak near Madison/Powerline. Emergency crews are on site and are managing the situation. We are keeping students inside the school at CVI as a precautionary measure and have not been asked to evacuate at this time. The school is not in an area of concern at this time. To assist emergency personnel, please stay away from the Madison/Powerline area until it is fully cleared.

Thank you,

Heidi Sipe, Superintendent

Photo of Patty Oseguera Gonzalez's art on Display. caption on work is, "I used acrylic paint and three different paintbrushes to create this poster. I didn't have a certain technique for this painting I just started by painting the famous towers first. The hardest part was painting the water and ensuring each small area was painted. I got inspiration from my favorite movie. The Day after Tomorrow, and decided I wanted to do something like a city underwater. The movie is also about hope, and that's what I want my poster to spread."
