“Honesty is the best policy.”

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.

There will be NO Calligraphy class tomorrow (Wednesday) this week.

Hello readers!  First it was I Will Always Write Back, then it was Refugee...what will next year's All School Read be? Go to the library home page and help us choose! The All School Read committee has narrowed our choices for next year down to three great books, and now we'd like you to help rank them for us. Listen to the book talks on the library home page and then fill out an online ballot using the link that's also on the library home page. The more people who vote, the better so vote today! 

Students and Parents! Check our Lost and Found. Come and see if some of the water bottles, lunchboxes, jackets and sweater are yours! Items will be donated during Spring Break.

Attention all 7th Graders looking to apply to be a WEB Leader next year. Your applications are due THIS FRIDAY by 3:30pm sharp in the front office. Keep in mind that you must get 2 teacher recommendations and write a short paragraph about yourself, so plan ahead! We enjoyed meeting you all at the info meetings and so are looking forward to reading your applications and choosing our leaders after Spring Break! Please see Ms. Varboncoeur or Mr. Aquino if you have any questions.

Student council will be coming around during Panther time tomorrow. We ask that you bring one dollar to donate, and the money will be going towards the schools in Paradise, who lost everything in the fires. If everyone brought just one dollar, we could raise over 1000 dollars! Schools around Marin

County have been participating in this same dollar day fundraiser and now it’s our turn! 

Basketball Team members: In order to have your deposit check returned, you must return your uniform to Ms. Palmer by Friday, April 5^th!

Announcement:  Who’s That Middle Schooler?

Check out the posters that are up across from the library outside of Mr. Nelson’s office.  Pick up a ballot by the pen dispenser in the library. Guess who is who. Just put the number of the picture next to the name of the teacher you think it is.  If you are among the students who identify the most teachers and staff, your name will be entered into a raffle for a small prize. You have until April 4th to identify as many as you can and submit your ballot to the box on the bookcase.  One ballot per student please.
