Dear Greyhound Families,

Welcome back, Greyhounds!

We hope your holiday break was filled with joy, rest, and special moments with family and friends. As we gear up for these last couple of weeks before winter break, we’re excited to jump back in together!

We Need Amazing Volunteers!

Our Magnet Tours are in full swing, and we could really use your helping hands! Thank you to those who have already stepped up—you’re making a huge difference. With the district increasing the number of required tours, our volunteer guides play a vital role in showing families just how awesome our school community is. Training and all materials are provided, so you’ll feel confident and supported every step of the way!

🎄 Teacher Appreciation Celebration

We’re planning a festive holiday luncheon for our incredible teachers and admin during the second week of December! They work so hard for our students, and we can’t wait to celebrate them. Huge thanks to our Teacher Appreciation Committee for always creating something special.

🎁 Adopt a Family This Season

Want to make a meaningful impact this holiday season? Consider adopting a family! Please reach out to president@mpvapto.com or contact Counselor Moody to get started.

As always, thank you for your time, energy, and Greyhound spirit.

Together, we make MPVA stronger every day!

Warmly,
 

Naomi Doyle-Madrid

MPVA PTO President
