CVHS PTSA Wins Outstanding Unit Award


At the 4th District year-end lunch on Thursday June 8th, 2006, the Capistrano Valley High School PTSA was awarded the “Outstanding Unit Award” for 2005/2006. The 4th District includes all of Orange County and a small portion of LA County.   President Barbara Casserly was in attendance to accept the award on behalf of the PTSA. Thank you to all who participated in CVHS PTSA this year for making this happen.

The following is the announcement from the 4th District:
OUTSTANDING UNIT AWARD
CAPISTRANO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL PTSA (Capistrano Council)
Barbara Casserly, President

Capistrano Valley High School PTSA chose “Celebrating Cougar Pride” as their theme this year. Their goal was to reflect the pride they feel in their school, but also to ensure that the PTSA board was reflective of their diverse student body. There are seven men on their board, and board members from each of their feeder schools as well as two student board members and a Latino group parent leader.

Capistrano Valley High School PTSA kicked off their year with a new program, “Parent Orientation,” during which parents were welcomed and educated about what to expect in high school. By providing interesting programs as well as door prizes, attendance at their meetings is up, and membership is up 50%.

In February, they celebrated “Take Your Family to School Week,” a Founders’ Day event and opportunity for feeder school PTA executive boards to discover the high school their children will soon attend.

Strong parent education programs is the hallmark of Capo Valley High School PTSA, programs such as “Crash Proof Your Teen,” and “The Essentials of Teen Driving.” Mini-parent ed programs follow PTSA meetings, on topics such as drug education, involvement in high school athletics, and class selection & scheduling.

This PTSA is also active in advocacy. Information is sent to parents via email, and through their website. This PTSA took an active role in defeating Proposition 76. Through guest speakers, postcard campaigns and electronic communications, Capistrano Valley High School PTSA helped to defeat Prop. 76 while educating parents about their role as advocates.

With no past student involvement in their PTSA, this year two students were recruited to serve as Reflections chairmen. Students also assisted the PTSA by helping with data entry and campus beautification.
