Mahalo is the Hawaiian word for thank you! Our theme this week was Mahalo Ohana- which means, Thank you Family! All week long we celebrated our amazing teachers and staff with treats, games, raffles, and meals. Thank you to the PTO for organizing a special breakfast for the staff on Wednesday.
We are so thankful for our teachers and staff here at Mt Vernon Woods who make magic happen every day for our Panthers. Mahalo isn't enough, but please know you are appreciated and loved!
Have a great weekend,
Gina O'Neal, Principal
Christine Berry, Assistant Principal
Kristen Robinson, Assistant Principal
