FAFSA Completion Made EASIER!!! The FAFSA process does not have to be difficult, and Mission Valley wants this year's seniors to have every chance at receiving financial aid. It is in your child's best interest to complete the FAFSA, even IF they do not think they will be attending a college/vo-tech/university next year. HERE IS WHY...IT IS BETTER TO HAVE IT AND NOT NEED IT, THAN NEED IT AND NOT HAVE IT. Financial aid, state grants, and loans dry up FAST!!! This is why it is vitally important to complete the FAFSA prior to mid-November 2021. Starting tomorrow, 10/12/2021, the FAFSA Made Easier Form is available to the seniors through a partnership with GoingMerry. This process is COMPLETELY FREE! The seniors have been given an assignment on Xello to complete the preliminary aspects of gathering information (found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A9Aly-M0jvTywAjJ1t6D2W6YfmJMZndq/view?usp=sharing). You can use the FAFSA Made Easier website on GoingMerry OR you can complete the FAFSA the traditional way (BOTH WILL SUBMIT YOUR FAFSA). Parents, you can find more information in the links below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BEKbihrXdyYs3VRwwXOPui_7WV1havNZ/view?usp=sharing AND BY VIEWING THIS INTRODUCTORY TO THE PROCESS HERE: https://app.goingmerry.com/counselors/fafsa/form

Mr. Fiske's Horticulture class has been busy learning about plants but have been able to apply what they have learned with the Garden Tower hydroponic system located in the shop. The class started the seedlings in the classroom and then transferred them to the tower and kept a journal of the plant growth daily. Students enrolled in this class were responsible for tracking growth in inches, checking the pH and making sure the water level and lights were correct. The class is excited to watch the lettuce continue to grow and experiment with other plants like basil, tomatoes, and flowers.
