At this time of gratitude and thanks, we are reminded that we are part of a larger community.  Each year MVMS partners with community-based organizations to fulfill the holiday gift wishes of local children, teens and families.  This event, called Holiday Wishes, will be going on at school the next few weeks.  The participating organizations are:  Homeward Bound of Marin, Huckleberry Youth Program, Marin Foster Parent Association and Sunny Hills Services.  This week we highlight some of the important community organizations we are supporting as we count down to our Holiday Wishes drive.
