Greetings wonderful MVLA Families!
Here's our latest Newsletter and yes, I do mention that testing is coming. However, please remind your kiddos that assessments do not tell them what they are worth. They only measure a couple of academic areas. They do not measure how wonderful our kids are. They don't measure their artistic or dancing abilities. Nor do they measure their people skills or ability to play an instrument. They are just tests. So, while we do want them here all day and on time, we want them here to experience ALL of their talents, not just to measure the two or three things the assessment will.
Happy Reading - https://www.smore.com/n/phjda

Last year, Students took on the challenge of coming up with a storyline for their film, adapting it to a script, then filming, acting, directing, producing, and editing it all together within the 48 hour and 168 hour film competition deadline.
More than 200 student filmmakers participated in the film showcase last year. There were 59 non-competitive films and 7 competitive films submitted. Each student produced movie included elements that students had to incorporate in their film as part of the competition.
Parents get ready, online registration for the 2024-2025 school year will open on March 18, for incoming kindergarten students, returning students for grades 1st-12th, and new students K-12. Please see flyer for more information. Scan the QR Code to get started.
