Champions of Character
During half-time, MVNU held a Guinness Book of World Records Event: "World's Largest Game of Heads/Tails", and encouraged all guests to participate to beat the current world record. It was a success!
We are very appreciative of MVNU for providing such a fund day for our students.

Thrive Kids Update
We are on a roll...literally! This week we worked on a new challenging movement, "the roll up" as we worked to help kids realize that even when something new or challenging is in front of them, they can still choose what mindset they will have. We discussed the importance of recognizing the negative talk in our minds, i.e. "I can't do this", and how that affects our actions. Often what we say in our mind transfers to what we do. We worked on guiding kids to see the new movement, the roll up, and then use a growth mindset to work through it! They all did a great job!

Veterans Day
Sadly, we will not be having a Veterans Day assembly this year, but are happily making other plans to educate our students about the holiday as well as honoring Veterans for their service. We will be having a flag ceremony with our students on the morning of November 9th as a culminating event. This ceremony will be recorded and shared with families in the form of a video. We would love to include videos of students recognizing a Veteran that is or has been in their life. It's as easy as going to this site and recording your student thanking a veteran for their service. If you have difficulty, 1 1/2-2 min. videos can be made on your phone and emailed to cgrandstaff@mvcsd.us.The following are examples of questions that may be answered in the video:
1. How is the student associated to the Veteran?
2. What years did the Veteran serve?
3. Which branch of our U.S. Military is this Veteran a member of?
