We are inspired by our Mount Vernon Community of students, families, and staff who are showing great resilience, determination, and creativity to stay connected with one another and to support student learning. Their efforts to continue to make Every Day Count during this unprecedented time are amazing! Teaching & Learning staff are excited to share resources and ideas for staying connected and supporting student learning. Students are likely to hear from their classmates, teachers, and school sites with ways to stay engaged. Maintaining our sense of community supports our social-emotional health and will help each of us to remain engaged in learning. We hope you engage with and enjoy the ideas we post on our Every Day Counts! student learning blog. Stay tuned--we plan to begin posting on Monday, March 23rd! Many of the resources we will be sharing are available to all students via the MV TECHSMART K-12 DIGITAL LITERACY site.

6-19-2020 Create an End of the Year School Award for Yourself

Happy Last Day of School!  

To celebrate, check out Young Adult Author, Jason Reynolds,  the author of Ghosts and All American Boys and the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature as he shares and idea with you.  Create an Award for Yourself.  We are finishing up a very unusual year of school.  We have all had to learn in new ways.  What is something you are proud of from your school year?  What did you put your best effort into?  Think about that, and then create your own award.  Your award could be made out of paper and ribbon.  What about a trophy, or a banner? How about a video?  Get creative and show what makes you most proud of yourself and your accomplishments this school year.  We'd love for you to share in the comments. 

Have a great summer and don't stop learning.
