February Student of the Month

Meet Corey! 

Corey is a 6th grader with CAVA!  He has two older sisters named Meagan and Rachel.  He also has an older brother named Chad.  His favorite things to do are play and watch baseball!  Corey has LOTS of pets!  He has two dogs named London and Shorty, two fish named Finny and Black Knight, a rabbit named Thumper, and a cat named Bella.  Here are some of his favorites:

Favorite Subject:  Latin
Least Favorite Subject:  Math
Favorite Food:  BBQ Ribs (yummy!)
Favorite Colors:  Black and Purple
Role Model:  Tim Lincecum
Favorite Sports Team:  San Francisco Giants

Corey says the one thing that makes him very special is that he is tall for his age.  He is also very proud of the fact that he helps out around the house.  If he could have one wish come true, it would be to win a million dollars and pay off his mom's house!  What a considerate wish! 

When asked to pick three words to describe himself, Corey said he is funny, friendly, and a leader!  He knows a lot about baseball and would like to learn more about math. One day he would like to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Corey gets such great grades and is involved in so many extracurricular activities that he was nominated for National Junior Honor Society!

A new goal for Corey this year is to play basketball.  Ooooh, sounds like he is branching out into a new sport!  Best of luck to you in all of your endeavors, Corey!  Thank you for being a model CAVA student!

(Keep checking the blog, maybe next month's Student of the Month will be...YOU!)

Sacramento Museum Day takes place Saturday February 4, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All participating museums close at 5 p.m. with the last guests admitted at 4 p.m.

NEW for 2012:
Museum Day welcomes two new museums – The Center for Contemporary Art, located at 1519 19th Street in Sacramento; and Sacramento Children’s Museum located at 2701 Prospect Park Drive in Rancho Cordova. Both locations will be open free to the public during Museum Day.

Two regular destinations, Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town, located in William Land Park will offer half-priced admission during Museum Day.

Shuttle busses will not be operating this year. However, several museums are in walking distance of each other. Pick up a Museum Day Guide at any participating Museum for a map to help you plan your day.
