“We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.”

MVMS students, have you heard of the Community First program?  Doing service for others feels good and is meaningful. Our activities range from feeding the homeless, beautifying the environment, helping younger students, and volunteering at organizations that assist the elderly and special needs. Check out the Community First page under Student Activities on the MVMS website for ideas. You can do good, make a difference and get credit for it!

Speaking of community service, we are holding our first event of the year! On Wednesday, October 24^th at lunchtime in the conference room, come help make hygiene kits made up of toiletries and other supplies during our HELP THE HOMELESS event! You and your parents can donate if you haven’t already… there is a Signup Genius in the Panther Press.

Have you noticed the long green banner of icons hanging on the wall above the central hallway of the school?  Take a closer look.  They are images of changes we need to make and actions we need to take now to combat climate change.  The images were all drawn by 6^th grade students after visiting a Climate Change Exhibit in San Francisco last month.  Ask a 6^th grader what you can do to fight climate change, and thank Ms. Tran and art students for hanging the work in the school.

All Students please power down your cell phones or other personal electronics NOW and put them in your backpack until the end of the school day.
