MVE Celebrates and Spreads Joy

MVE students and staff gathered yesterday for an annual assembly that signifies the half-way point of the 2016-2017 school year. More importantly, the elementary's holiday assembly is a way for the teachers and staff to give back to the students and let them know how much they are valued and cared about as part of the MVE family. 


Students were welcomed to the assembly by some of the sweetest elves in Missouri Valley. Several fourth grade students greeted each student and teacher as they entered the gym. Once in the gym, students were able to enjoy Mr. Meeder and his third grade class playing guitar and singing. 

The Masters of Ceremony for the assembly were MVE's own Ms. Arneson and Ms. Larson serving as comic relief in between acts.

Students and staff also attempted their first whole school Mannequin Challenge. 



Mrs. Barry was awarded with a 5 lb chocolate bar for winning the festive (and slightly ugly) sweater contest. Students and staff voted and Mrs. Barry was named the winner! 

Finally, students watched a video about Lily and the Snowman. MVE staff wanted all of the students to know that they are loved, they are valued, we believe in their abilities, and more than anything else, we love spending time with them every day. 


From our MVE family to yours, we wish everyone a relaxing winter break and we can't wait to see our students in 2017!
