 "There is no such thing as freedom without discipline. The one who is free is disciplined."

It is tradition at MVMS for Spanish students to organize a Cinco de mayo bake sale and… Cinco de mayo is almost here!  During lunch tomorrow, come buy treats baked by Señora Thebaut's and Señora Iyer’s Spanish classes.  We will be set up outside the gym and everything will be 1$. All proceeds benefit the Guatemalan Book Project, which is an organization that supplies books for children in rural areas in Guatemala. 

Attention Staff and Students. This Wednesday, May 6th, is National Bike to School Day. Please do your best to bike or walk to school next Wednesday.  Stop on by the front of the school for treats and fun music.  Show your Panther Pride and Go Green!

Don’t forget to visit the Lost and Found.   If you can’t find your favorite jacket or lunch box…its probably in the Lost and Found waiting for you.
