Off-Site Book Fair Begins Monday!
We are very excited to be part of MVM's first-ever off-site book fair at Curious Iguana. It's Iguana's first foray into book fair world as well!
Field trips to the store start Monday, Nov. 30:
-Students should dress appropriately for the weather and the walking trip.
-Students who bring money should know what they want to purchase. Be sure to have the permission slip completed (link below).
-Visits to the store are brief and wishlists will be made.
We encourage families to visit the bookstore with their child and make purchases outside of school hours if possible.

"Get whisked away by the music and spirit of the Emerald Isle in three hilarious and action-packed Irish folk tales! When a trio of wild and crazy leprechauns try to help tongue-tied shepherd Fin O'Grady learn to tell a story, they help him win the hand of his one true love. This uplifting, comic musical glitters like a gem with its peaceful Celtic melodies, clever dialogue, and slapstick humor to inspire many a chuckle in the wee as well as the old."
Students interested in doing back stage or tech should see Ms. Shannon or Ms. Julie Hayn.
