Bridging the Future is a special MVR-III tradition that connects our youngest Indians with our graduating seniors. 💜
At halftime of the Varsity football game on Friday, September 18, all kindergarten students are invited to join the seniors on the football field as we pass our Indian Pride from one generation to the next. Kindergarten students will begin on one side of the field, while seniors start on the opposite side. They will meet at midfield, where each senior will present a special gift to a kindergartner as a symbolic welcome to the MVR-III family.
Please complete the form if your kindergartener or senior will be attending so we can ensure we have enough gifts: https://forms.gle/peYhrfWHZN5twTxn6

Meet MVR-III alum Brent Batcheller, Class of 1993. 🎓
Brent is an educator at Rockwood Summit High School, where he teaches social studies. He is most proud of achieving National Board Certification in Teaching and earning the President's Council Award for Sports, Nutrition and Fitness.
Brent says his time at MVR-III was shaped by caring staff who worked to build lifelong relationships and the numerous extracurricular programs that helped prepare students for life beyond high school. Whether he was participating in choir or competing as a three-sport athlete, one program in particular helped inspire his career in education. Through Hi-Step, Brent and other students visited elementary schools to work with younger students on making healthy choices.
His advice for current students: Get involved, stay involved, take risks, and you'll find a new passion.

Students in Mrs. Mathes’ 4th grade class at Coleman Elementary put teamwork and perseverance into practice with a challenging puzzle activity! 🧩
Working in groups without knowing what the completed puzzle looked like, students had to communicate, collaborate, and work through challenges together. It was a hands-on way to learn that struggles can be part of the process, and that working together can help find a way forward.
