Good Morning MVP Families... due to driver shortage today, Cactus Mouse riders will need to be released from school 45 min earlier today at 1pm so the bus can still run for them. If you don't need your Cactus Mouse student to ride the bus, they can go with the rest of the students today at 1:45pm with no Cactus Mouse coverage for the PM run today.



In August, Low Income Student Aid, Inc. assisted 290 Verde Valley students, filling 24 aid requests. Each donation we receive helps deserving students!
