MVVS News and Notes

MVVS is the Tang Math Tournament Champion! Over 10,531 students, representing almost 500 classes around the world, participated in the MLK Tang Math Tournament. Showing incredible resilience, tenacity, and problem solving ability, our students rose to the top of the mountain (or hill) victoriously.

We will be celebrating this amazing achievement with a special assembly on Thursday, February 6th in the MPR. This will include medals for top problem solvers, ribbons for all students (all of our students participated), and a special ice cream treat for each homeroom (please reach out to Nurse Amanda if you have any questions about the ice cream treat @ aanderson@sau39.org). Greg Tang Math is awarding our school with the medals and the special recognition. We are very proud!

Please join me in also thanking our math specialist, Charline Brown, and our staff team for championing math problem solving in our school!

Lunch time craft club is off to a great start! Thank you to our sixth grade leaders for volunteering their time to teach our younger students!

We are looking to seeing you there and hearing your voice. I am so thankful for our MV community and the values that we represent.

At MVVS, we will put a special focus on kindness and care in the month of February. The "O" in SOAR is "Others First" because we know that MVVS, at its core, puts kindness at the center. Over the course of this month, our challenge will be, "How can we show others that we care?" I am so proud of the acts of kindness, the small things, that our students do to show their kindness and care for our community.

Our MILLION MINUTES reading challenge continues. Our staff and students have read over 105,000 minutes so far-which is a lot of minutes for our little school! New reading logs are available from Mrs. Jennings or from Dr. Holm. Don't forget - ALL kinds of reading counts, including the reading done in class.

Congrats to Nova Anderson and Liam Gagne, our winners this week!
