Sergeant Major Ret. Stephen Smith spoke to Shawn Wiles' Participation in Government class about the origins and importance of Veterans Day. SGM Smith is Central Valley's MORIC Educational Technology Leader, coordinating the district's technology equipment and network. He is a major supporter (no pun intended) of CVA's NJROTC program.

From 4th grade teacher Kate Hitchcock, "I invited the ROTC students who came to Barringer for our Veterans Day program to come talk to my students after the program. We talked about what ROTC is, why they joined, what patriotism means, what it means to honor our Veterans and why it's important. It was a GREAT conversation and my students LOVED it."

Fifty CVA students enrolled in certain CTE programs each received a $150-gift certificate toward the purchase of work boots and clothing needed in their fields.

The Boys Soccer Boosters presented Kim Calkins of the Mohawk Valley Health System Breast Care Center with a $1,000 check in support of the center's efforts to provide care and counseling to the area's women who are fighting breast cancer.
