“Heroism feels and never reasons and therefore is always right.”

Hello 8^thGraders! Please review all of the Graduation information with your parents. Your permission slips and donations are due to your Panther Time teachers TOMORROW, Wednesday, April 17^th.

Do you consider yourself a friend of the Earth? If so, you won’t want to miss our Earth Day Fair next Monday at Lunch in the 7^th grade area. Spin the Wetland Spinner bike wheel to learn something new about our local wetland ecosystem, find out how you can bring a lunch to school that has Zero Waste, or Relax in the sunshine and make a recycled paper flower pencil that you can use. Whatever your interest, the Earth Day Fair has something for you. Show up for the Earth next Monday April 22^nd outside at lunch and join the fun!

Students please remind your parents and caregivers that MVMS has only ONE area for student drop-off and pick-up. Have them drive to the green curb at the end of Sycamore Avenue past the gym, pull all the way forward along the curb before stopping, and exit slowly. The staff parking lot next to the gym and the small parking lot in the front of the school are NOT open for drop-off/pick-up. Dropping off at the Community Center or nearby neighborhoods and walking from there is also a good option and decreases traffic congestion. Thank you for helping us to keep our campus safe.

If you haven’t already, please power off your phones and other electronic devices for the school day and place them in your backpack. They cannot be on silent, vibrate or airplane mode. Cell phones that go off in class or are being used will be confiscated and consequences imposed according to school policy.
