A Message from MVMS Foundation
Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for your incredible support of the Mesa Verde Foundation’s Pledge Drive so far. We are pleased that many of you have received the letter and are taking the time to get to know what our organization funds and how those donations help improve our students’ education. If you haven’t seen that letter with its attached teal envelope yet, make sure to check your student’s backpack or binder. It’s in there somewhere!
With the budget shortfall this year, the MV Foundation is trying to raise the money necessary to help our school maintain the programs and quality education our community has come to expect. But we also hope to do MORE! While we want to ensure that the budget gap is filled, we also want to give our students even more than what they had last year. We want to make certain all of the students at Mesa Verde are given the opportunity to soar, to be prepared not only for high school, but for life beyond high school. We can only do that with the support of generous and caring parents like you.
Please visit our website to make your tax-deductible donation today. And please check to see if you or your partner’s company offers corporate matching. This is an easy way to DOUBLE your donation to the Foundation. Foundation board members will be on hand at the upcoming Back to School Night to answer questions and collect donations as well. We hope to see you there!
We sincerely thank you for your continued support of our Mesa Verde Eagles.
The Mesa Verde Foundation
Message from PE Staff
Hi Parents!
We're off & running in Physical Education!! Thursday was the students' first day to dress-out. The kids did a great job of navigating the locker room, changing and getting out to class, ready to move!!
Your child should have asked you to review the PE Website & sign a sheet of paper which was due on Friday (8/30) for 10 points.
Clothes should be coming home every Friday to be washed and brought back again on Mondays.
Please remind your child to bring a water bottle with them to PE especially during this heat wave!!
We look forward to seeing you at Back-to-School Night next Wednesday.
