MVVS News and Notes

We are celebrating literacy in many ways this year at MVVS! During the week of April 21st, we will continue the tradition of reading across Mont Vernon. The week will be a spirit week with themes each day (see above).

• On Tuesday, April 22nd, we will welcome students from SHS to read to our students. Thank you Sabers for taking the time to celebrate literacy with us!
• On Thursday, April 24th, we will welcome guest readers from across our schools and community to MVVS!

Though Monty might be our GOAT, our kindergarteners were thrilled to meet some of the goats of MV today!

This May, MVVS students will have the opportunity to showcase their learning and growth through the NH-SAS assessments. These assessments provide valuable insights into student progress and help us continue to support their academic success. To learn more about NH-SAS, visit the state website [here].To help fuel our students for success, the MVVS PTA will support snacks for testing days. Your generosity ensures that students stay energized and ready to do their best. Thank you for your support in making this a positive and successful experience for all!
