“A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. A vision and a task are the hope of the world.”

Students: Please remember to bring headphones or earbuds with you every day in your backpack, as they are required for testing. Of course, you should also have your ipad and ensure it is fully charged.

Attention 8th Graders: If you have Stinson Field Trip and Graduation Dance Party permission slips or donations, please bring them to the office.

Students: The library will be closed TODAY after school for a Staff Meeting.

The Mill Valley Parade Committee is seeking student essays – 500 words or less – on any topic that has to do with Memorial Day (family history of military involvement, service to the country, Memorial Day memories, etc.).

Two to three essays will be selected and these students will get to read their essays at the start of the parade, and then ride on a special opening vehicle in the front of the parade.  It is a big honor!!

Please submit essays to Ms. Miller at nmiller@mvschools.org by May 18, 2018.
