A Message from our Principal:

As we are all painfully aware, the economic condition in the United States of America is pretty tough right now.  Unfortunately, the economy in the State of Arizona is even worse.  We have a few choices as a school district:  we could hang our heads down and feel sorry for ourselves or we can be creative, innovative, and make every effort to keep moving forward.  We have a very smart and student centered administrative team that has helped us weather this financial crisis.  This is not to say we haven't taken some devastating hits because we have and will continue to be severely impacted by this financial crisis.  What I am stressing is that I am very proud of the approach we have taken in the face of this storm.  We will continue to offer our students the very best educational opportunities we can!

 

A great example of this creativity is the pancake breakfast we conducted this past weekend at Mountain Vista School.  Amazingly we had more than enough volunteer help, had a great time and made a good deal of money for our "snack shack" project.  Our Booster Club and PTO combined forces to put on a first class event that could not have gone better.

 

The plan is to build a new snack bar complete with restrooms that is centrally located between all of the playing fields.  The men's side will have a urinal and a stall and the women's side will have two stalls.  For those of you (myself included) that have spent long weekends at the fields; nice, clean public restrooms will be an awesome addition to our athletic facilities.  This Thursday we will be visiting several local facilities to gather ideas for our project.  The basic plan is to construct a building that will survive the ages and serve the community.  We will build the shell out of 8x8x16 blocks and use a metal roof.  All fixtures will be stainless steel and we will use natural lighting as much as possible.  As we get closer to "ground breaking" we will try to garner as much volunteer help and donation of building materials as possible.  If you are interested, have ideas, can get us building supplies etc., it is certainly not to early in the project to email me with your thoughts and ideas.

 

Together we can continue to move forward and do great things for our community and the children.
