It was #FallFestival at the Ken Moncrief Agriculture Center! Central Valley High School students welcomed elementary students from across the district, leading fun and interactive activities about all things agriculture. This event is an annual favorite that takes a village to coordinate. Thank you to everyone who helped make it a success! For more photos, please visit our Facebook page. 🎃🌱🐮🚜 #TheCeresWay
Because the State does not provide complete or reliable funding for facilities, schools cannot maintain safe learning environments that meet current instructional standards without a local funding source. In order to complete identified repairs and improvements across all school sites, the CUSD Board of Trustees is considering placing a local bond measure on the ballot next year for local voters to consider.
