Christmas Apparel Calendar- Disney Christmas! ❤️💚










Ms. Lavender’s third graders wrapped up the day before break with a fun challenge. They worked in teams to design a carrier or basket that could safely send Tom the Turkey across a zip line. The class loved testing their creations and seeing which designs completed the mission.

Mrs. Nabors' kindergarten class made Spoons of Thanks last week! Today on Thanksgiving, they will hold their sooon and tell what they are thankful for and then pass it around their table! 🦃









Mrs. Nabors’ kindergarten class enjoyed a fun Thanksgiving project inspired by Balloons Over Broadway. After reading the story, the students designed their own puppet balloons and chose backgrounds to bring them to life. They had the best time, and it was such a joy to watch their creativity shine.
We’re grateful for moments like these and the excitement our students bring to every activity. Happy Thanksgiving from MVES! 🦃💙

MVES wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We’re so grateful for our sweet students, their families, and the joy they bring to our school every day. We hope you all enjoy a warm, restful holiday with the people you love. 🦃🧡

Thanksgiving Break begins now! Enjoy the break and we will see everyone back on 12/1!

We are so proud of our very own Mr. Grice, MVES’s itinerant art teacher! 🎨 Recently, he unveiled his latest masterpiece: Flamboyant Flamingo, a 7-foot-tall bronze sculpture at the Birmingham Zoo. 
This whimsical piece — made in his signature imaginative style, complete with “mechanical” legs and rivets — shows how Mr. Grice brings the wonder of art to life in bold, joyful ways. 
Beyond the statue, Mr. Grice’s passion for creativity inspires our students every day. We’re so grateful to have him sharing his talent, encouraging our kids, and making our school a more beautiful place.
