“The way we build a better tomorrow is by building better people today.”

Hello 8^thGraders! Your Graduation permission slips and donations are due to your Panther Time teachers TODAY! Please try and get them in now!

There is a Bake Sale tomorrow after school in front of the gym. Come and enjoy a treat of a cookie or cupcake and help to raise money for the Chorus program. Yum!

Do you like to put your hands in the dirt? Do you have a green thumb? That means you like to grow plants. Next Monday is the Earth Day Fair at lunch. You can help us plant some new plants in our garden beds outside of the Panther Café. What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to help create a new living thing to add oxygen to our atmosphere and beauty to our school. Watching your plant grow more a little each day is sure to brighten the rest of your school year. Be a part of the MVMS garden bed planting, or visit the Children’s Garden of Marin booth to learn more about this local project. Don’t miss the Earth Day Fair next Monday at lunch in the 6^th and 7^th grade areas outside.

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.
