Hey students, we are holding our first community service event of the year!

Also look at the Community First page on the MVMS website for more ideas on helping in your community.

Spelling Bee Club has a make-up meeting TODAY at lunch in room 32.

Do you know what you want to be when you graduate from college?  Most of the jobs that all of you will have one day haven’t even been invented yet.  Think about it.  What jobs are awaiting you in the future?  Want to be an Alternative Energy Consultant or a Space Pilot?  Lots of robots will be entering the workforce too.  Who is going to help humans and Artificial Intelligence get along?  Maybe it will be you in your job as a Human Machine Team Manager.  With all of the information available on our devices, how will we know what is true and what isn’t.  Maybe you will be a Data Detective or an Ethical Officer.   Who knows what you will do?  What issues you will solve.  We live in One World…Join the Club…

Did you like reading about Isabel, Mahmood and Joseph? Come to the library at lunch TODAY where Mr. Maldonado will share his own story.
