Help our students Grow - become an Oasis Tutor! Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring pairs volunteers ages 50+ with children in grades K-3 to work as their tutors, mentors, and friends. Tutor one child (or several) on a one-on-one basis each week throughout the school year. Volunteer today by calling 314-995-9506 or visiting https://st-louis.oasisnet.org/tutoring/. Training is 9 AM - 2 PM October 16, at MVR-III Central Office, 126 North Payne Street, Pacific. Find out more about the program with this informational video: https://youtu.be/B8Y345pqmOE

All MVR-III students can eat a FREE school breakfast every day, and there's nothing extra for you to do! You can be eligible for a prize drawing to win a FREE BIKE or a FREE TV by filling out your household Meal Benefit Application, though, and this may help our district qualify for additional federal funding. Return your paper copy or fill out your online form in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal (under More > Meal Benefits) by Aug. 30 to enter! #MVNation
