Have a FANTASTIC summer, MVE Panthers!
See you in August. First day of school for grades 1-4 is August 12!

In Kindergarten, students played a fun and engaging reading game where each student had a word taped to them! 📚✨

Students walked around the room reading each other’s words and practiced writing the words they found. This interactive activity kept everyone actively engaged while building reading, spelling, and social skills all at once!

Learning is always more exciting when we can get up, move, and learn together! 💙🐾

On Tuesday, we celebrated our amazing 4th graders as they continue their journey, moving up and dreaming big! 🎓✨

Watching our 4th graders grow this year has been such a joy. From the first day of school to today, they have learned, laughed, supported one another, and shown just how much they are capable of.

As they prepare to move up to the next chapter, we hope they always remember to dream big and believe in themselves. Each student has brought something special to our school family, and we are so proud of the growth they’ve shown along the way.

What an incredible year in the MVE Library!

We are so proud of the reading growth, excitement, and love for books happening all across our school. From our 3rd graders reading over 600 books for Battle of the Books, to our top readers and classes leading the way, our students proved that reading is powerful!

We’re especially excited to celebrate our MVE Book of the Year, Simon and the Better Bone by Corey Tabor!

As this school year comes to a close, the shelves may get a little quieter for the summer… but don’t worry! The books will be waiting patiently for our Panthers next year, ready for even more adventures, learning, and imagination.

Thank you to our students, teachers, and families for helping our library continue to grow into such a special place. Here’s to even MORE reading next year!
