Wellness Center News: On Thursday, May 24th, MVHS Juniors and Seniors will be taking part in a pre-graduation program titled Living Proof. The program includes Lisa Panzau’s personal account of how impaired driving, unhealthy life choices, and the consequences of her decisions affected her life. With graduation on June 16th, the message of this program couldn't be received at a more opportune time. The avoidable tragedy of poor choices around drug/alcohol use and driving , is a message we can’t underscore enough with our students. For more information about this program sponsored by New Hampshire Distributors, you can go to; http://www.speakingmatters.org/sarah_panzau.html
Special thanks to Chris Brown and New Hampshire Distributors for their continued support of the safety of MVSD students.
Note to parents: Prom and graduation are emotionally charged times for you and your graduating senior. Please don't make the mistake of purchasing/supplying alcohol to anyone under the age of 21. The consequences of underage drinking can last for a lifetime through legal prosecution, injury, and death. Let's all do our part to celebrate in a safe, responsible fashion.
Lenny Smith, LICSW, MVHS Wellness Center Director

Guidance News:
Seniors! You are advised to have your final choice of where you are going to college into Guidance ASAP! This will ensure that your final transcript is sent to the college you plan to attend. If they don't get your final transcript with spring grades, it could delay your enrollment in the fall! Any senior that still has not made plans for next year, see your guidance counselor ASAP! There are still colleges and programs/career schools you can apply to for next year!
