Greetings Upper School Parents:
As you likely have heard, this week we dedicated “increased attention” to first term tardies at MVS. Between work hours and morning carpool greeters, we hope to further encourage student timeliness to school, particularly for Morning Announcements, since it fulfills such an important facet of life in the Upper School. Thank you for your support of these efforts.
Although we have all come to depend upon e.mail as the most expedient means of sharing information and facilitating communication between MVS and home, I will host a Principal’s Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting on Thursday, 22 October from 8:30-9:15AM in the Alumni Theater. PAC meetings are open to all upper school parents; as follow-up I will send a summary of topics we discussed, via e.mail, on Friday.
School photo packages (for those who ordered them) and student IDs were distributed this morning. Photo re-take day is next Thursday, 22 October. To receive a re-take, students need to return their original photo packages.
MVS Admissions Open House is this Sunday, 18 October, beginning at 1:30PM. If you know of a family with interest in learning more about MVS, please encourage them to attend this informative event, including campus tours conducted by our student ambassadors.
Our fall athletic teams are heading heartily into divisional and regional competitions. Look for an up-date from Ken Laake, Athletic Director, including post-season competition times and locations. Go Rams!
Next week provides a performing arts bonanza in the MVS Alumni Theater:
Thursday, 22 October is the combined upper and middle school jazz concert, titled A Night of Duke Ellington, beginning at 7:PM in the Alumni Theater. Ross Williams, Director of Music, has prepared a full evening of jazz favorites to warm up our autumn nights.
On Friday, 23 October, the Student Government is sponsoring a viewing of the Tim Burton film Edward Scissorhands, beginning at 7:PM in the Alumni Theater.
On Saturday, 24 October, the drama department is hosting a “staged reading” of Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist play THE BALD SOPRANO, beginning at 7:PM next in the Alumni Theater.
I look forward to seeing you soon at an up-coming athletic match, performing arts performance, or other MVS event.
With sincere regards,
Sam Wagner
Head of Upper School
