Deadweek (Review Week)
December 6 - 10
This week is dedicated for review sessions to prepare for the semester finals.
There is enough time to study, so use it effectively. Ask your teachers questions about the materials on the exam.
Final exams don't have to be stressful if you give yourself time to study, and take care of yourself by getting enough rest and eating nutritious food.

Castro Toy Drive
Each year, for the past many years, Mountain View Academy has been hosting a Christmas Party for the first grade students at our neighboring school, Castro Elementary. With all the festive decorations around campus, we would normally welcome the children with hot breakfast (eggs, pancakes, hash browns, fresh fruit, juice and milk) prepared by our staff. MVA students would also bring wrapped toys for each of the first graders. Santa Claus would then have a special appearance, and the children would take photos with him.
A Tradition of Giving
Due to COVID-19, the elementary students are not allowed to go on any field trips, so they will not be visiting MVA. Because the students cannot be here, we will deliver the presents and packaged snacks to them.
Each MVA student is to bring a TOY ($10-$15), already sanitized, wrapped and labeled as "for a girl or for a boy". If you are a boy, buy a toy for a boy, and if you are a girl, buy a toy for a girl. Please remember to purchase a gift for the Castro Elementary students.
MVA students may drop off presents at the MVA office during business hours, no later than Wednesday, December 15. SA will deliver them to Castro school on Thursday, December 16.
