Dear MVRHS Community,
It is hard to believe that the school year has come to a close. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for a great year together. I can’t say enough about how proud I am of this school and of its various accomplishments.
I would like to formally thank our wonderful students for all of their hard work and efforts this past year. I would also like to extend a thank you to our school staff who worked incredibly hard on a daily basis to guide students, helping them learn and grow. Thank you also to our School Advisory Council and PTSO for their dedication to help enrich our school and build a sense of community for our students. To all our parents, I would like to say thank you for trusting us with your children.
Below you will find a selection of spring highlights and reminders. On behalf of the staff at MVRHS, we wish everyone a very happy, healthy and safe summer break. We’ll see you in September!
Respectfully,
Sara Dingledy
