MVR-III is excited to announce Dental Safari as our new mobile dental company. Dental Safari offers onsite dentistry with a wide range of services such as comprehensive oral evaluation, digital radiographs, cleaning, sealants, fluoride treatment, in class dental education, and onsite follow up restorative care if needed. Dental Safari focuses on child care at school and brings the office to the patient. Children can quickly visit the dentist and return to class, reducing the amount of missed class time.

Get ready for a new tradition! Join the MVR-III school district for the inaugural "Bridging the Future" event on Friday, September 5th, at halftime of the PHS varsity football game. This special event will bring together our Class of 2038 & Class of 2026. Kindergartners will meet the seniors in the middle of the field, where they will receive a gift to officially welcome them to the district. We ask that all participants wear purple to show their school spirit! Please fill out the form at bit.ly/PHS2KDG if your kindergartner or senior plans on attending, so we can ensure everyone receives a gift. #MVNation

Families-
Backpack Program Information:
I am sending home the Backpack Program Parent/Guardian Form for the new school year in this week’s Thursday Folders.
This program is provided by Gray Summit United Methodist Church and helps support students by providing food for the weekends.
Please review the information, complete the form if you are interested, and return the signed form to school by Tuesday, September 2.
Thank you!

Attendance is important, whether it is Summer School or during the school year. Congratulations to our week 4 winner: Emma Harrison!


A huge Thank you to the Pacific Fire Department for bringing water fun to the students at Nike and Robertsville! The students enjoyed cooling off and eating popsicles.







On Thursday, June 26, we will have a special visit from the firetruck for water play at school! Students should come in their regular clothes and wear shoes that can get wet—water shoes or Velcro-type sandals work best. Students will not be allowed to play barefoot.
If students would like to wear a swimsuit, please be sure it is worn under clothing or a swim shirt and shorts that fully cover the suit.
Please have parents send a towel, a grocery bag, and a full change of dry clothes. After water play, students will dry off, change, and bring their wet clothes home in the bag.
Sunscreen must be applied at home before school—we will not be applying sunscreen at school.

These 4 Braves read at least 4 Mark Twain nominated books this school year. Not an easy task! So proud of you all!


What a day at Robertsville! Today we hosted our very first Cooking with Character event, and it was a huge success! Each class prepared a special dish to share, and we all gathered in the gym with our tribes to enjoy some tasty treats. While we munched, we had meaningful conversations about kindness and manners, and our amazing teachers led by example, showing our core value of service in action. A delicious day full of heart and community!


Don't forget! It's the final Purple Friday tomorrow as our Seniors have their Send-Off walk-throughs! Wear your purple and cheer them on! 💜 #MVNation


Our library WOW box winners for 3rd trimester. These students went above and beyond by tracking their minutes read each night. Way to go Braves!



Robertsville Elementary tribes learned valuable lessons on collaboration & resilience during a recent cup tower challenge! The cross-grade team members stacked 1 cup at a time, emphasizing teamwork & how to bounce back when (inevitably!) towers tumble. #MVNation #GrowingTogether

Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is coming! Starting Monday, let's take a moment to thank the hardworking heart of #MVNation – our teachers and staff. A little kindness goes a long way!
