Monte Vista's Plant Sale
Tomorrow, October 16th
Because Monte Vista is Independent Study
we do not have a PTA, this event is our own school fundraiser.
Support our school to raise funds for classroom and school supplies
for our students, feel free to share with friends and family.
Or just come visit Dr. P and his team of volunteers,
It will be lots of fun!
