“We are happy to publicly recognize faculty and staff members who go above and beyond for our students,” Duga said. “We want to make certain their commitment to our students does not go unnoticed.”

The recognition program, which was implemented during the 2019-2020 school year, acknowledges students and employees each quarter with the hope that there will be recipients from each school building: Fisher and Barringer Elementary Schools, Jarvis Middle School, and CVA High School, as well as the CVCSD bus garage.

Community members who would like to nominate a faculty or staff member for the quarterly recognition can find the nomination form at www.cvalleycsdfoundation.org or on the Central Valley Central School District Foundation Facebook page. Selected employees and students will be announced near the end of each marking period.
