Over 100 MVCS family and staff members turned out for our annual Back to School Potluck and our FIRST 1000 Hours Outside Together event! It was a beautiful evening, where old friends reconnected after the summer season and welcomed new families to our community, amidst the wooded “playground” of the Lower Elementary campus. Family Committee unveiled its MVCS tree logo “thermometer” that will tally our hours throughout the year (photo coming soon!). We hope to display it at the bottom of the Lower Elementary driveway, as a reminder to all of us to get outside! All told, we garnered 160 hours toward our 1000 hours goal- only 840 left to go!
