Kindergarteners had a "Royal Tea Party" to conclude our study of Kings and Queens. In our study we learned about the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of a royal family, as well as stories like King Midas and the Golden Touch, Cinderella, Snow White, and The Princess and the Pea. #Fairytales #mountainviewprep #Cutestkinders #RoyalTea

COCSD and Mingus Mountain Camp and Retreat Center joined forces to facilitate an enriching experience for our 7th/8th grade and 5th/6th grade students from four schools, guiding them towards "Finding the YETI" (You Belong, Everyone Matters, Tenacious Courage, Inclusion for All). This invaluable opportunity, provided at no cost, left an indelible mark on our students, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Over two nights at Mingus Mountain, our students forged connections with peers from across the district, embarked on thrilling mountain adventures, and discovered the incredible qualities within themselves.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Mingus Mountain and Mr. King, whose visionary dream brought children into the embrace of nature. We are also deeply grateful to the families who entrusted their children to support our inaugural Winter Camp at Mingus Mountain!

What an outstanding fundraiser we held here at MVP to support families in South Sudan without access to clean water! The fourth graders spent time reading, learning, and researching about water. Through their experiences, they decided to raise funds to support an organization that provides Wells for families Who have to walk Miles in miles before they can get to a water source. Many of these water sources are filled with disease and contamination. They reached out to their MVP families and had a dollar drive to raise money. In the three weeks during the fundraiser, they were able to raise $693! All of these funds will be sent to waterforsouthsudan.org, which donates 100% towards the building of wells. Thank you so much for all who helped to donate. Congratulations to the four classes that brought in the most money: Mrs. Reay, fourth grade, Mrs. Sanchez, sixth grade, Mrs. Zienka, third grade, and Mrs. Ozuna third grade. We are so proud of our community.
