NED Show Assembly - The Resiliency Ride - March 28th!

NED Sales are from April 1st through April 4th

Coming up on March 28, we will have our second of two NED Show school assemblies of the school year. NED stands for Never Give Up, Encourage Others, and Do Your Best. Our March assembly is a live in-person event. Part of the fun of NED Show is weaving in the classic yoyo into the assembly. Here at school, we will be selling the NED Show yoyos. The sale of the yoyo completely offsets the fee for the two assemblies, and is a lot of fun for the students! Be prepared for your student to come home excited about the NED Show, yoyos, and yoyo tricks!

Art Show - April 24!

Scholastic Book Fair - Coming Soon!

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair, hosted by our librarian Mrs. Jones and the CV Elementary Library Department. This event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. All purchases will benefit our school library here at Shaull.

The book fair will take place from April 22 through April 29 at Shaull Elementary. Students will be given the opportunity to purchase books during their regularly scheduled library special class.

Evening shopping will also be available during our Shaull Art Show on Thursday, April 24th from 5:30-7:30 PM.

This is a cashless Book Fair. Our Book Fair will offer eWallet, a safe and secure alternative to cash. All students who wish to shop will need an eWallet if they are shopping at the Book Fair during the school day. Credit cards will be accepted at our Book Fair night during the Shaull Art Show on the evening of April 24th.

Visit the Scholastic Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet or shop online:

We are excited to celebrate our love of books together at the Book Fair. We look forward to seeing you there!

Happy reading,

Mr. T.

Portrait of an Eagle

Fly Like an Eagle!

Cumberland Valley School District's Portrait of an Eagle is our vision for all students upon graduation. Through the immersive Kindergarten through twelfth grade experience here at CVSD, our students will be able to demonstrate these seven competencies for success in adult life.

We will reward students each month with the CVSD Portrait of an Eagle Award Certificate. Be on the look out should your student come home with an award!

Additionally, students will be awarded the "High Fly"er" tickets on an ongoing basis to be entered in for regular prize drawings. Students may earn lunch with the principal, a game in the lobby "Sharkade," or prizes from the Principal Prize Bin.
