A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL BABAYAN
Tomorrow kicks off our Staff Appreciation Week! Thank you to all of our hard-working, dedicated, and caring Monte Vista staff for all they do day in and day out to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for all of our students. The PTA and various parent groups have prepared for a week of special treats and lunches for the staff and we appreciate it! This is also a great time for our students to write a note to someone on staff who means a lot to them - their teacher, a teacher from the past, the custodians, office staff or support staff. Everyone loves a card, a note or a picture. Even an email or a text to share your gratitude is appreciated!
