". . .  I believe that we are all teachers. We teach with every act we perform, during each waking moment of life."

Once again, Mill Valley Middle School has done well in the  2016 Phillips Writing Contest. There were a record number of contestants from all over Marin County this year, and four of the winners were from the Middle School’s 6th grade. They are: Honorable Mention - Sammy Nichols, President’s Award - Pablo Stuart, 2nd Place - Eloise Weir, 1st Place - Alana Concannon. Congratulations to these students and thank you to everyone who entered the contest.

Congratulations MVMS! Yesterday’s bake sale was an amazing success! We raised over $200 from selling sweets. We’d like to thank all of you for contributing to the great cause of saving women from Domestic Violence. All of the profits we made will go the Center For Domestic Peace shelter in San Rafael. Thank You!

Attention all MVMS citizens.  Do you think we need to change our world for the better?  Do you wish politicians would come up with better ideas for doing so?  Well, here is your chance to weigh in on some great ideas about how to address big issues.  7th graders are calling on you to participate in our “Vote for Change” mock election this week.  Flex your electoral muscle and cast your vote on our 23 propositions to make the world a better place.  Your Panther Time teachers will pass out ballots today and you can turn yours back in to your Panther Time teacher OR drop it off in the red ballot box in the library anytime before this Friday, May 27.  If you want to know more about these 23 different ballot initiatives, stop by the library and check out the projects on display, or ask your Panther Time teacher for a copy of the Voter Information Guide.
