A Message From Principal Scott
We have had a great start of the 2020-21 school year. It has had its challenges with creating new systems and procedures, learning new tools and strategies, worldwide tech issues, but we managed everything that came our way. I am proud of the way our staff, teachers, students, and families have demonstrated grace, patience, understanding, adaptability and a growth-mindset. Everything we want our students to learn and use in their lives.
Thank you for making Mountain Avenue one of the BEST schools... on earth!
Go Bears!
Principal Scott

2020-2021 PTA Reflections Theme Is…
I Matter Because
What Is Reflections?
National PTA's Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
The theme for the 2020-2021 program year is I Matter Because.... Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories:
Dance Choreography
Film Production
Literature
Music Composition
Photography
Visual Arts
Student winners from the school will have the opportunity to move up through the council, district, and state PTA. National Reflection winners are celebrated annually at National PTA’s convention and expo in June.
Reflection Workshop: September 9th 1:00pm
Deadline to Submit Entries: October 9th
