Mount Vernon Elementary School

A huge THANK YOU to Goodfellas Social Club of San Bernardino for welcoming two new first-year teachers to the Mt. Vernon community with Amazon gift cards to help them begin their journey in the classroom! 📚 More meaningful than the gifts themselves were the words shared with our new teachers: You are now part of the Mt. Vernon community.🐝 This generous gesture was about paying it forward, investing in teachers who, in turn, will make a lasting impact on countless scholars and families for years to come. 💛 We are grateful to have community partners who believe in our teachers, our scholars, and the power of giving back. Welcome to Mt. Vernon, Ms. Estrada and Mr. Kirk! 🍎

Thank you Mt. Vernon families, staff and scholars for a successful Back to School Night! 🍎 Not only did families get to visit classrooms, meet staff, visit our renovated STEAM Lab and hear our Title 1 presentation but tonight’s event was also extra special as we unveiled our new book vending machine!📚 We know this book vending machine will inspire our scholars to become lifelong readers and help cultivate a love for literacy at school and home. 🏫📙🏠

🏆🎉Congratulations to our 11 Mt. Vernon scholars who achieved PERFECT ATTENDANCE this school year! These students showed incredible commitment and dedication by coming to school all 180 days. 📚⭐️ A special thank you to those families who made this achievement possible. Getting students to school every day for an entire school year is no small feat, and we recognize the hard work and commitment it takes. We are so proud of our scholars and grateful for the families who helped them reach this milestone.💛💙

🐝 Principal Alvarado challenged Mt. Vernon scholars to read 51 million words through Accelerated Reader. 📚 Not only did our BEES rise to the challenge, they surpassed it, reading an incredible 57 million words! 🏆 To celebrate this amazing achievement, we welcomed to campus. Scholars had the opportunity to interact with, feed, and learn about a variety of animals. 🐪🦓🐖🐐🦙🐇🐢 We are so proud of our readers for their dedication, perseverance, and love of learning! 💛✨

🍭Sip, Sip, Hooray! 🍬 Classes with the highest words read for A.R. this year celebrated with “Make Your Own Drink!” Students enjoyed decorating their cups, choosing a flavor and adding candy. Mrs. Holodnick’s third grade class read over 9,000,000 words! Way to lead as readers! 📚🐝
