Hello MVA family!

It’s hard to believe that the summer has passed so very quickly! I hope your summer has brought you all of the rest, vacation, self improvement, and self care that you needed.

MVA has been busy preparing for the new school year. Returning families will notice little changes and improvements around campus. Returning students will notice some new teachers in the classrooms. Student athletes will begin conditioning and practicing for the next sports season. Students will be facing new projects and challenges to help them grow academically.

But, as we prepare for new challenges, let’s not forget to set aside physical and mental space for the most important thing. Let’s make time to meet God and create space for Him in our lives and relationships. Then the next school year can bring true growth and success!

I hope you plan to attend and participate in the Back-to-School Night coming in a few weeks. See you then!

Marc Andres
MVA Principal
