"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task." 

Hey MVMS, are you excited to spread some winter cheer?

Well if you don’t know how, don't worry, student council is here!

 We are very eager to introduce Snowflake Sweeties, the brand new winter slip

They're fun, amazing, fantastic and super hip

They are the best way to appreciate friends, teachers and everybody in between 

We will be selling them for a week: December 7th through 14 

To buy sweetie slips, go to Mrs Thebaut’s or Mr Doyle's room at lunch 

Each slip is only $1, bring money so you can buy a bunch

And guess what? You can even customize them

Include the recipient, the recipient's panther time, and who it is from 

Your recipient’s panther time teacher is the one thing you need to remember

If you provide that, student council will hand out your slip on the 21st of December 

Remember to get your Snowflake Sweeties before it’s too late

Your support for student council + snowflake sweeties = a winter that's great

We have received a number of concerns from parents and teachers about students not being safe and responsible when riding their bikes to and from school. It is imperative that students follow all traffic laws, including, but not limited to riding on the right hand side of the road and in the bike lane, stopping at all stop signs and traffic lights, riding with the flow of traffic and not against it, walking bikes in crosswalks, and being aware of surroundings. Please be sure to ride in a safe and responsible manner when coming to and from school.

Guess what MVMS?  It's the time of year when we should all be thinking about giving back to our community.  It's easy to help kids less fortunate than us.  Please join us for our Jacket Drive!  Please donate any gently used or new jackets to Mr. Doyle or Ms.Thebaut's room by Wednesday, December 21.  Donations will be taken to the Marin Foster Care Center to be given to foster kids.  You could even include a holiday card.  So donate a sweater or jacket to make a child's holiday better.
