President's message
Dear CVHS Families,
What a joy it was to see so many of you at our Parent/Teacher Social on October 2! Meeting parents in person, and seeing so many of our teachers come out to connect with families, was one of my favorite moments of the year so far. That kind of face-to-face connection is what makes Carnegie feel like a true community. A big thank you to Smiles + Bites Orthodontics for sponsoring the tacos, and to every volunteer who helped make the evening happen.

CVHS PTO President Yasi Lotfi with Dr. Timothy Dang and Dr. Lina Aljoudeh from Smiles + Bites Orthodontics
Thank you as well to everyone who joined us for our first in-person General Membership meeting in September, and to Montrose ER for sponsoring the pizza.

Elizabeth Wallace (Secretary) and Gauri Semlani (Past President)

Alexa Burridge from Montrose ER on Sept 15th
Principal Moss and our freshman teacher panel shared their insights, and it was wonderful to see so many of you come out to meet the board, shop swag, and ask your questions.

The rest of September was full and fun too, with Rhino Day and the wrap-up of our Teacher Supply Drive. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped get supplies into our teachers' hands. And a huge shout-out to our Dad's Club, who showed up and rolled up their sleeves at our campus work day this weekend. It's amazing what a few hours and a lot of willing hands can do!
Principal Appreciation Day was last week, and we couldn't appreciate Principal Moss more. Thank you for everything you do for our students, teachers, and families!
Looking Ahead
Our first student fall event is October 17 at Geronimo Park. Registration closes October 14, so make sure your student signs up soon.
Our next General Membership meeting is October 20 and will be virtual. We have a special agenda planned, so stay tuned for details!
Holiday basket season is almost here. These baskets support families right here in our school community, please see flyer with all the details below. Every donation counts.
And if you haven't yet given to our Friends & Family campaign, there's still time. Every gift makes a difference.
As always, visit www.cvhspto.org for details on all of this and more.
Thank you for showing up, pitching in, and making this such a wonderful year already.
With gratitude,
Yasi Lotfi
President, CVHS PTO

The CVHS PTO board led by the president Yasi Lofti gathered for its first meeting of the new year with a calm, welcoming energy. A simple set of shared notes sat at the center of the table, ready to guide everyone into the year ahead.
New members were greeted with genuine warmth and quickly brought into the flow of how the board works — the rhythm of meetings, the roles each person plays, and the shared commitment to supporting the school community. Their questions blended naturally into the conversation, adding fresh perspective to familiar topics.
The past president, Gauri Semlani, offered her notes from last year, walking through highlights and lessons learned. Her reflections felt like a gentle handoff, giving the board a clear sense of where things stood and what could grow next.
The meeting stayed simple, steady, and collaborative. No big decisions, no rush — just alignment, clarity, and a shared sense of purpose.
By the end, the board left feeling connected and ready, carrying forward the warmth of a meeting that set exactly the right tone for the year.
