PrinciPal’s Message— Good bye Janu-ary, HELLO February! Happy Friday, MV fam-ilies. The golden bears are super excited to be gearing up for a fresh new month. In the next
28 days, we’ll be celebrating two presidents birthdays. On Monday, February 8, there will be no school in ob-servance of Lincoln’s birthday, and again on Monday, February 15, no school due to Washington’s birthday. Let’s not forget the celebration of our golden bears too.
In this week’s Growl, pages 4, 5, & 6, our honor roll, high honor roll, and principals’ honor roll students are high-lighted! Awards videos will be added to our school Insta-gram page and will be shown in classrooms. Students of the Month, Academic All Stars, and Character Counts recipients will be highlighted and recognized in next week’s Growl. Hybrid students will receive their awards in class. Online students and parents can pick up their certificates and principal medallions/pins on Wed., Feb. 3rd during our awards drive thru pick up in the kinder-garten parking lot from 3:00-4:00. We’re so proud of these hard working students! Starting on the 25th, we are taking registration for kindergarten and new stu-dents. See pg. 7 for the more info! This coming week our Positivity Project character trait is INTEGRITY. Take time with your student to read more about integrity on pg. 3. This week we celebrated National Library Shelfie Day. See shelfie pics of our students and staff on pg. 8. Kid Nation, is hosting a Master Chef Jr. competition (pg. 9). We’re looking for some junior chefs to video record themselves cooking and sharing their favorite cultural dish. We also have a February essay and poster contest. See pg. 10 for details! Enjoy your weekend! Sincerely, Mrs. Everson

Quote of the Week

“Integrity is doing the right thing. Even when no one is watching.”
-C.S. Lewis

THE GROWL
		United States. The tradition was started in 1926 by the historian Carter G. Wood-son. It was called Negro History Week at that time. In 1976 this celebration was renamed Black History Month. It is a way to make Americans aware of the con-tributions of black people throughout American history. Dr. Woodson was born to parents who had been farmer slaves. He spent his childhood working in the Kentucky coal mines and didn’t even go to school until he was 20. He graduat-ed in two years and went on to become only the second African America to grad-uate from Harvard University. During his studies, he was sad to discover that history books mostly ignored the black-American population. He decided to put black-America into the nation’s history where they belonged. In 1926 he started Negro History Week. The dates in Feb-ruary were chosen in honor of two Amer-icans who improved the lives of African Americans.
