🌷 Beautifying your yard AND supporting MVPS?! Say less.
We’re "rooting" for this fundraiser! 🌱
Grab some flower bulbs and seeds for your garden and help support MVPS PTO at the same time. It's a win-win! 💙

Flower Power Fundraising helps support groups, causes and communities using an earth-friendly alternative to traditional fundraising through the sale of flowers, bulbs and perennials that can be enjoyed for years to come!

💪 Dream big. Try something new. Push yourself.

MVPS student Eron Dick is doing just that! What started as a casual interest in powerlifting has grown into an exciting journey in Olympic-style weightlifting—and a spot at the USA Weightlifting Junior National Championships! 🏋️

Eron’s story is one of grit, determination, and a willingness to step outside his comfort zone. MVPS is so proud of you, Eron!

🤩We love seeing our Mustangs chase new opportunities and discover just how far they can go!

Read more about Eron’s journey in the October edition of the Mustang Minutes!

Students in the ITC (Innovative Technology Class) learned the importance of team communication!
Sitting back-to-back, one student designed a creation using building blocks and then had to give their partner verbal directions on how to recreate it without seeing the original. The goal? Create an identical match!
What a fun way to practice communication, teamwork, and listening skills!
