In Ms. Grieff´s CVA Art 2 Layers Project, students explored how artists can use depth, transparency, and physical layering to communicate ideas in creative ways. Students developed personal concepts and transformed them into artworks that combined multiple visual elements, encouraging viewers to look beyond the surface and discover deeper meaning within each piece. This piece was created by Macyn L.

Yesterday CVA- H students attended the Beyond the Diploma event. They met representatives from local businesses, colleges, military branches, public servants, and even WAVY 10 reporters to explore career paths. Students attended professional-skills sessions and practiced mock interviews, all practical experiences that build confidence. The event also provided lots of smiles as students reconnected with peers from their home school. Being part of CVA also includes meaningful in-person experiences beyond the screen!
