From student-led conferences to innovative STEM projects and exciting invention conventions, our learners are taking ownership of their education and showcasing what true leadership looks like. They’re not just participating—they’re planning, creating, presenting, and inspiring.
It’s incredible to see their confidence grow as they share their ideas, solve real-world problems, and collaborate with peers and families. The future is bright when students are empowered to lead!

✨ A PERSONAL THANK YOU ✨
Hello from MVP's After-School Coordinator, Zack Jernigan! 👋
…although you might not know me as Zack anymore 😄
Back in September 🍂, before the very first day of clubs, I introduced myself to a classroom full of kindergartners and told them my name was Dragon 🐉. By the next day, half the school was calling me Mr. Dragon — and it stuck!
Now I’m Mr. Dragon everywhere 😂 — at the grocery store 🛒, at Goodwill 🏬, at local restaurants 🍔🍕 — anywhere MVP students see me. And honestly? Hearing a kiddo shout “Hi, Mr. Dragon!” 💬 makes my day every single time 💛
Yesterday, I walked into my office totally focused on the last day of Clubs 🎉. Our amazing librarian, Mrs. McDowell 📚, asked what I thought of the artwork that the equally amazing 2nd-grade teacher, Mrs. Bivanco 🍎, had put up on my wall.
“Huh…?” 🤔
I looked up… and WOW. 😲
To say I was stunned and delighted doesn’t even come close. I have rarely felt so appreciated 💖 It was such a powerful reminder of the kindness, thoughtfulness, and support I experience every single day at MVP 🌟
Being MVP’s After-School Coordinator has truly changed my life 🙏
Thank you to everyone — students 👧🧒, parents & guardians 👨👩👧, teachers 🍎, staff 💼, and of course our incredible Club Leaders 🎨⚽📖 — for everything you do to support me and our program.
Our students are so lucky… and honestly, so are we 💫
❤️
— Mr. Dragon 🐉
Students focused on engineering and design, making sure their rockets were built correctly and tested successfully. Through hands-on learning, they explored how changes in design can impact speed, stability, and flight performance.
What an exciting way to bring science to life! Middle schoolers at Mountain View Preparatory had a blast in science class launching their rockets while studying force and motion and how they work together!

Last Thursday was our MVP After-School Showcase Night! So many people came out to see our amazing Cheer performance, shoot at our indoor Archery range, tumble on our Gymnastics mats, try out a Ukulele, and twirl Flowstars — not to mention enjoy hotdogs and tater tots from our amazing good services crew! Thank you for all your support this year. We'll see you this week for our last four days of clubs!

Our students practiced being explorers just like Christopher Columbus. They used maps to plan their voyage route, and then they got to take their very own voyage!
Learning through adventure makes it even more exciting!

🐍🚨 Reptilian Adventure at MVP Today! 🚨🐍
Well… it’s not every day you get a surprise visitor like this! 😅
Thanks to Mrs. Ozuna, a Raptor alert was quickly initiated and everyone jumped into action—safely sheltering in place while our reptilian suspect was apprehended. 👏. Mr. Jernigan (AKA Mr. Dragon 🐉) bravely handled a rascally rattlesnake that decided to make an appearance on our campus today.
We are incredibly grateful for Mr. Jernigan’s expertise and calm response in handling the situation. And a big THANK YOU to Animal Control for safely collecting and relocating our unexpected guest. 🙌
With Arizona temperatures warming up ☀️, snakes are on the move—so please keep your eyes peeled and stay aware! 👀
Just another exciting day at MVP… but we’ll take classrooms over critters any day! 😄🐍
We recognized our IB Balanced Learners who continue to show what it means to be caring, reflective, principled, and open-minded both in and out of the classroom.
We also celebrated our academic superstars who have been working hard and reaching new goals in: Sight Words, Reading and Multiplication!
Way to go, MVP students! Your dedication, effort, and growth make us so proud. Keep shining and striving for greatness!
