Our Mt. Vernon Carnival was a huge success! Families enjoyed a fun-filled evening with great food, delicious treats, exciting games, and amazing prizes. Events like this are only possible because of the hard work and dedication of our PTA. Thank you to our PTA members, volunteers, staff, and families who helped make this such a memorable event for our students and community. We appreciate all that you do to support Mt. Vernon!
Our K-2 students had the exciting opportunity to participate in BookFest and each selected five books to take home and keep. Seeing the smiles on students' faces as they chose books they were excited to read was a highlight of the day. A huge thank you to the United Way of Lane County for sponsoring this wonderful event and helping foster a love of reading in our students.
The last day of school is Thursday, June 11. This will be a half day for all students, with school in session from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We hope everyone has a wonderful summer break, and we thank our students, staff, and families for a great school year!
Field Day will be held on Tuesday, June 9 during students' Specials time. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of fun games and activities outside as we celebrate the end of a great school year. We look forward to a day filled with fun, teamwork, and school spirit!
Our final Spirit Day of the school year will be on Thursday, June 11, the last day of school! The theme is Vacation Day, so students are encouraged to dress in their favorite vacation attire, such as Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses, hats, or other travel-inspired clothing. Let's celebrate a fantastic year and get excited for summer break!
