MVHS is creating a new student group called Sources of Strength (SOS). The purpose of this group is to create a culture of wellness and belonging where students feel comfortable getting help when they are struggling. Sources of Strength is fun, powerful, and strength-based. We need to have as many voices, languages, experiences, skills, and social groups represented on this team to create a strength-focused culture at MVHS.
To learn more, sign up for the Sources of Strength Info Session for next week’s ReFLECT on Wednesday (11/13). This will be a no pressure meeting where you can learn more about SOS and decide then if you want to participate in training the following week. We hope to have many Mustangs come learn more about SOS!

This year, the School Board is asking the community to provide feedback regarding student use of cellphones in schools. Nearly 4,000 people shared their thoughts in an online survey, and about 200 people attended community conversations. Survey results and themes from the conversations will be shared with the community in the coming weeks. This feedback also will be shared with an advisory committee of parents, students and staff for their review. The group will identify themes found in the responses and provide recommendations to the School Board. The feedback and recommendations will ultimately be used to help inform the creation of a cell phone policy. Learn more at mvpschools.org/cellphones.
