šŸ¾šŸ’œ Dear Greyhound Families,Ā 

Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope it was a fun and relaxing time for you and your family. March is definitely here and there is lots to do!Ā 

🄧 Greyhound Grade Pie Race: Thank you to our PTO Fundraising team for their successful Spring Fundraiser! Funds raised (over $10k!) will support the purchase of new Chromebooks for our students. Thank you to all who donated and participated – especially our teachers who agreed to be pied! Congratulations to 6th grade for raising the most funds!Ā 

🌯 Spirit Night – March 25th (4–8 PM): Mark your calendars! Our next Spirit Night will be at Chipotle on March 25th from 4–8 PM. Take the night off from cooking and join fellow MPVA families for great food and community connection.

šŸ’™ PTO Leadership Needs You for the 2026–2027 School Year! Middle school is only three short years, and many of you have already spent several years supporting your elementary school PTOs. After all that time volunteering, it can feel like middle school is the moment to take a step back and catch your breath.

However, this stage of our kids’ lives is incredibly important, and our school community needs engaged families more than ever. Joining the PTO is a great way to stay connected, support our students and staff, and help shape the middle school experience for all of our kids.

Please consider getting involved for the upcoming school year. The link below lists all open PTO positions along with a short description of each role. Take a look and see if there’s a place where you can lend your time and talents! Click here for the PTO 2026/27 Positions!

Warmly,Ā

8th Grade Parents,

As we head into the final semester of middle school, we can hardly believe how quickly the year is moving! If you haven’t had a chance yet, it’s not too late to take care of your 8th grade fees. Every contribution helps us finish the year strong and make these final months memorable for our students.


As we move into the spring semester, please be on the lookout for upcomingĀ volunteer opportunities. Parents interested in volunteering should ensure they areĀ VIPS approved(https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/NjcyOmVuLVVT), as this will be required to participate. Taking care of this now will help things run smoothly as events approach.


Personalized yearbook ads purchased through Jostens(https://www.jostens.com)Ā are only available for a limited time. Families who are interested should be sure to check theirĀ personal emailĀ for details and deadlines so they don’t miss this opportunity. If you have any questions, please contact Jostens directly atĀ 800-358-0800.


If you previously set up automatic payments in MTK, please be sure to stop any recurring payments to avoid being charged beyond your intended amount.


If any family is in need of financial assistance or has concerns regarding fees, please don’t hesitate to reach out by emailing 8thgradechair@mpvapto.com. All inquiries will be handled confidentially.


Lastly, be sure to mark your calendar forĀ February 2nd, when all thingsĀ ā€œClass of 2026ā€Ā will be released. More details and exciting information are coming your way!
