8th Grade Fun Friday Events

Dear MPVA 8th Graders,

As we wrap up this exciting chapter of middle school, we hope you enjoyed our Yearbook Signing Party and Gratitude Graffiti Wall on Friday. It was wonderful to see you celebrating friendships, sharing memories, and recognizing the people who helped make your middle school journey special.

The fun isn't over yet! As a reminder, students should wear their class t-shirt on Wednesday, when grab-and-go breakfast will be served from 8:00–8:30 a.m. Keep an eye out for additional information regarding the location. We’ll also be heading to Andretti’s for our 8th grade field trip, and we’re looking forward to spending one more day together making memories and celebrating all that you’ve accomplished.

As you prepare to begin your high school journey, remember to dream big, believe in yourselves, and never give up on your goals. The future is full of opportunities, and we know each of you has the potential to accomplish amazing things. Continue to work hard, stay true to who you are, and embrace every new experience that comes your way.

Congratulations, Class of 2026!

The 8th Grade Planning Committee, Signing Out
