PTSA Sponsored Assembly: Figureheads

8/20/2019

 
Thank you to PTSA for sponsoring Figureheads. These young men came to CVMS Tuesday morning delivering a message of diversity, self-acceptance, anti-bullying and so much more.  Our students actually created the beat, drums, and piano background for the song the musicians rapped on the fly! We ended the party with a dance off! Check out these super amazing pictures! For more on Figureheads, you can listen to them on Spotify, iTunes, or YouTube. THANK YOU FIGUREHEADS AND PTSA!!!!!
