Happy Holidays from the PTO!

As we head into the holiday season and our upcoming school break, the PTO would like to extend warm wishes to all of our MPVA families. We hope this time is filled with rest, joy, and special moments with those you love.

A huge thank you to all of the amazing volunteers who helped with our recent Teacher Appreciation efforts. Your time, creativity, and generosity made our teachers and staff feel truly valued, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

We remain thankful to our business communities that continue to support our teachers and school. Thank you to Local Foods for your lunch donation and to STS Brand for their generous gift donation to our teachers!

From all of us on the PTO, happy holidays and we look forward to an exciting new year together!

Warmly,

Naomi Doyle-Madrid

MPVA PTO President
