A Community of Empowered, Innovative and Engaged Citizens Mountain Lion Monday Good Evening Mountain Lion family, We have reached the last week of the 2020-2021 school year. If ever there was a good time to sit back, relax, and reflect on the year this would be a great time to do so. So many people shared over the last fourteen months that they were excited for the year 2020 to end. I think we all would be more excited to bring a close to this school year and refocus on the next school year. There were some great things that happened since spring of last year and there were also incredible challenges. We have lived through remote learning, hybrid learning, cohorts and a return to school. And, most importantly, we have made it. This week we will celebrate the Class of 2021 and honor them for all of their accomplishments and also watch the transition for our other students at Mountain View as they move closer to their own graduation. That reminds me of a movie quote that seems apropos at this time, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller The alternative graduation opportunity for the Class of 2021 will be held in the Lecture Hall at Mountain View. This opportunity is for those not attending the in-person graduation ceremony.  The space will be available from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 19th and Thursday, May 20th. Please click on this link to sign up:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/MVHS2021GradPhoto We again want to honor Pamela Galindo, Class of 2021, who has been named valedictorian of her graduating class. She was recently featured in an article published by Tucson Local Media, where she reflected on attending school during the pandemic and shared her plans for attending the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities to study mortuary science. Read the article And, don't forget, the Marana Cares Mobile, Mobile Meals and Services Traveling to Children, will be on the streets again during the Marana Unified School District 2021 Summer Break Monday-Friday, May 24 - July 23, 2021 serving FREE, nutritious and delicious meals to ALL children.  No meal service will be provided on May 31st or July 5, 2021 (in observance of July 4th holiday).
