 "I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can."

Students, there is construction along the multi-use path that began last Monday. If you use the path to get to school, please be sure to give yourself a little extra time in the morning.

This Saturday is our annual Holiday Gift Basket event.  Please join us in the library from 9am – 12noon to help fill gift bags for families in need in Marin County.  MVMS families are currently donating items to go into the gift bags and students and families can fill their gift bags from over 300 wish lists we have, then personalize a card to go with it. This annual tradition helps make the holiday season a little more joyful for those who are in need and do not have the ability to give their children or loved ones needed items for the holidays.  We look forward to making over 300 gift bags on Saturday and hope you will join us!
