This year our Upper Elementary & Adolescent Community students are planning end-of-the-year trips to Pathfinder Ranch and Catalina Island. Funds raised will assist students in attending these out-of-state excursions.
Scholastic Book Fair & Pancake Breakfast: A huge THANK YOU to all of our families! Our Book Fair sales this year will benefit your school, and your students with funds and books!! Our total book sales were an incredible $7,183.00!! Thank you, MVA Families, for another successful book fair. We earned $865 in books, along with many books donated to the classrooms, and $1,255 in cash for our PTO initiatives. Our Pancake Breakfast was also a success with $1,791 in sales, and profits from that event will help our AC students attend Catalina Island Marine Biology Institute in the Spring.
12/6-10 Student Craft Fair: Please join us for MVA’s first annual student craft fair in the lobby at each campus. Shop early and choose from a selection of hand-crafted, student-made items.

Proceeds benefit our Adolescent Community to attend the Catalina Island Marine Biology Institute.
