 "Success is achieving the maximum of your potential in the situation that you are in."

Congratulations Mill Valley Middle School for having one of the highest percentage of students walking, biking, rolling or carpooling to school in all of Marin County! The rainy season is here so it's a good time to talk with your friends and parents about forming carpools. You don't have to get your new shoes soaked to stay green. Student council is making a video to promote and encourage more carpooling to school. Send your selflies or groupies of you and your friends carpooling to school if you want to be in the video. Send pictures to Ms. Thebaut at nthebaut@mvschools.org by Friday, December 17th.  We can't wait to see you all being green!
