NEW! Teaming with the Foundation
We want to hear from you! Another way that the Foundation plans to team with the Mesa Verde community is by working closely with our families. Every voice matters! We have created a short survey asking for your input on items like fundraising prizes, rewards, and new events. We would also like to know what is most important to you about your child's education, how would you like to see the funds spent at the school? Please share your thoughts and ideas with us using this link.
Follow our MVMS ASB Instagram!
