MVR-III Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week 2024
Throughout this past Appreciation Week, MVR-III has recognized and honored the efforts of our excellent teachers and staff. Hear what #MVNation has to say about the people who do whatās best for kids on a daily basis in our district! Watch the video at https://youtu.be/7YhvSKEzz1Q.

Great job tonight from our students who performed at the PI Talent Show!

It may have been delayed by weather for a week, but there was no stopping our MVR-III staff and students from participating in and celebrating the 7th Annual Special Education Field Day today. Established for special needs students across the district, the 2024 edition was coordinated by co-chairs Stacy Kloeppel, Cathy Bearden, Erin Tesar, and Jordan Garlik. Participants are matched with PHS student buddies, and they are free to experience stations on the stadium field for gross motor skills, sports, sensory areas, face painting, and much more. The outpouring of care and support from staff, students, volunteers, and sponsors makes #MVNation second to none! Video: https://youtu.be/0cyQdjLk5tg

Lexi read 15 of the award nominees for our levels and Emmy read all 24 of the nominees.

Last week, Pacific Intermediate students visited Main Event and took part in Play Academy. An accredited STEAM curriculum, Play Academy combines authentic lessons with captivating games that resonate with children. Students explored light refraction using lasers and mirrors. This practical experience allowed them to apply their knowledge in a thrilling game of laser tag. The students further engaged in various arcade games to gain insights into Newton's 1st Law, variables, and probability. #MVNation
