Family Friday and Winter Gear Swap October 13
MVCS hosts 2 Family Fridays a year. Family Fridays are an opportunity for families to visit their children's classrooms, inside and out, and to get to know other MVCS families. Upon arriving, you will first head to your child(ren)'s indoor classroom(s) where you will meet your child and they will tour you through their work spaces. After this visit, please "check out" with your child(ren)'s teacher to let them know you are leaving. Please make your way to Fort Creek (your child will show you the way!) to share some cider and coffee with other families and to visit the Family Committee's Bake Sale.
All parking for Family Friday should happen in the Upper Elementary parking lot (the lot we share with Granite Forged Fitness), where you can walk through Fort Creek to Lower El (if your child is an Eaglet or Sapling). Follow the signs! We share the parking lot with Granite Forged Fitness and they have posted parking spaces for their members; their Friday class begins promptly at 3:00pm. Thanks!
Please remember that if you come to FF, you are responsible for your child(ren), so please make sure they follow school rules regarding behavior and property boundaries. Also, afterschool program starts at 3pm- please keep your child with you at that time, so the school knows who is going to the afterschool program.
