Dear Panther Families,
Spring Break is here! On behalf of all the staff at MVWES, we want to extend our best wishes for a joyful and relaxing spring break. May your break be filled with making great memories with your families and friends.
In order for our staff to rejuvenate and spend quality time with their families, we are asking them to disconnect from email over the Break. Staff will be back online Monday, April 1, which is a teacher work day.
Wishing you a safe and happy break and we look forward to welcoming your children back to school on April 3rd!
Sincerely,
Gina O'Neal, Principal
Kristen Robinson, Assistant Principal

April Awareness Events
Autism Acceptance Month - April is Autism Acceptance Month. One in 44 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder in the United States, according to the CDC. Our schools and staff play a vital role in creating and ensuring inclusive environments that accommodate and affirm autistic students.
Month of the Military Child - Every year we take the opportunity to recognize military-connected youth for their service and contribution to our community. Fairfax County Public Schools is proud to have over 14,000 military-connected youth as a part of our student body. We appreciate the varied life experiences they bring to our school community, and recognize their strength and resilience. Learn more about Month of the Military Child and FCPS’ resources for military families.
National Arab American Heritage Month - FCPS is proud to celebrate National Arab American Heritage Month in April. This special month provides an opportunity to recognize the remarkable history and valuable contributions of Arab Americans.
Muslim American Heritage Month - Muslim American Heritage Month is a time for celebrating the history, contributions, culture, and an enhanced understanding of the diverse population of Muslim Americans. View the Fairfax County School Board resolution honoring Muslim American Heritage Month.
School Library Month - In FCPS libraries, students develop knowledge and skills, experience a sense of belonging, find inspiration and support, and have the ability to freely pursue their personal interests and academic growth. Watch this video to learn how FCPS librarians make a difference.
