Monte Vista Families,

I want to relay a huge thank you for your support and help during the past few months. I am overwhelmed when I reflect on what we have accomplished together. Throughout our community we continue to honor various types of heroes and have seen examples of their sacrifice and selfless acts on the news and social media. But today, to you, our Monte Vista family, I want to take time to honor YOU.

I love this quote from  J.R Tolkien’s book, The Lord of the Rings, and feel it reflects our community effort well. Tolkein states - “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” Thank you for deciding to make “this time” one that has reflected a sense of unity and support for our students and community.

Over the summer you will receive Skylerts updating you on plans to begin the 2020-21 school year.  Enjoy your summer break and as always - stay safe and healthy.

All the best,

Nan Ririe
