Here is the Agenda for Monday, January 11th, Board of Education meeting at 7:00 @ Mission Valley. https://bit.ly/38XRNWx

We will have an updated menu for January 4th.
Breakfast – cereal only
Lunch – pizza only

The MVHS KAY club will be doing this collection until Jan. 8. Please consider donating.


Elementary Class Party Update:
Classroom teachers will email families about rescheduling any gift exchange portion of the class parties if that was part of their plans, but we will NOT have families bring in food or drink items after break. Teachers have been asked to send out an email to families by the end of today to inform you of their plans.

Our JH/HS Viking Hour students created Gingerbread Houses as well. Several are very detailed! One even has furniture and a fire going on inside.

Mrs. Bergin's Culinary Class did a great job on their Gingerbread Houses. Which one would you select as the best! They are all good!
