Tomorrow, our MVG community will come together to observe Orange Shirt Day and honor the children, families, and communities impacted by the residential school system.
Orange Shirt Day is a time to remember the children who were taken from their homes and families, to acknowledge the lasting impacts of this history, and to reflect on our shared responsibility to promote respect, inclusion, kindness, and reconciliation.
As a school community, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where every child is valued, supported, and treated with dignity.
JOM students will wear orange shirts and they ask everyone to join them. Today junior Langston Taylor and Senior Rhylie Quoetone, as well as, 7th graders Scarlett Quoetone and Michael Ahdokobo read a book to MVG elementary students as a way to help children understand what Orange Shirt Day means and why we at MVG are observing this special day.
Today, tomorrow, and every day, we stand together in remembrance and hope for a future where Every Child Matters. 🧡

PRIDE: It Starts With the Adults Too
We have high expectations for our students.
We expect them to be respectful. We expect them to take responsibility. We expect them to work hard and make good choices.
Those expectations have to apply to the adults in their lives as well.
Our students are watching us.
They watch how teachers and staff treat one another. They watch how coaches respond to officials. They watch how parents talk about teachers and school employees. They watch how adults handle disagreements.
We teach our kids how to treat people by the way we treat people.
There will be disagreements. Parents won't always agree with teachers. Teachers won't always agree with administrators. Coaches won't always agree with officials. Community members won't always agree with school decisions.
That's part of life.
But disagreement does not give us permission to be disrespectful.
We can ask questions. We can have difficult conversations. We can disagree. We can hold each other accountable.
And we can do all of those things respectfully.
If we want our students to show PRIDE, then the adults have to model it first.
Our kids are watching. Let's give them something worth watching.
Student Success — in the classroom, at home, on the court/field and in life.

PRIDE: What It Looks Like for Our Students
We ask a lot of our students.
We ask them to work hard, learn, participate, make good choices, and take responsibility for themselves.
We also expect them to show respect.
Respect for teachers.
Respect for classmates.
Respect for coaches and staff.
Respect for themselves.
Respect for our school.
Respect doesn't mean you will always agree with someone. It doesn't mean you will always get your way. It means you can disagree, be disappointed, or be frustrated without being disrespectful.
Our students are learning more than what is taught in a textbook. They are learning how to work with people, how to handle disappointment, how to respond to authority, and how to take responsibility for their choices.
Those lessons matter.
We don't expect our students to be perfect. We do expect them to learn from their mistakes and make better choices the next time.
Show up. Work hard. Show respect. Take responsibility.
That's what PRIDE looks like.
And those are habits that will serve our students long after they leave Mountain View-Gotebo.
Student Success — in the classroom, at home, on the court/field and in life.
