One of our district's goals is to be as transparent as possible. We need to inform you of an incident that occurred on Friday, September 22. One of our lower level elementary students at Mountain View Elementary brought a P99 airsoft gun to school on Friday. The airsoft gun was hidden in his backpack. We were unaware it was on school grounds until after school ended. First thing this morning, the incident was handled according to the district's discipline policy. The student has been held accountable for the incident. We appreciate and respect an elementary student and their parent for bringing this to our attention over the weekend. The safety of our students and staff are our #1 priority. I want to thank the communities of Mountain View and Birch Tree for working together to keep our students and staff safe. Mrs. Tharp, Superintendent

LMS wants to give a huge shoutout to Connolly Insurance for being our academic achievement sponsor for the 2023-2024 school year. Throughout the school year, there are many opportunities to provide students with awards for their academic success and hard work. Ian and Nathan are excited to support our middle school students and their achievements! Thank you!



For this semester alone we have 55 students enrolled in 115 different dual credit courses. Our local Rotary Club are huge supporters of education and our students. Because they are an organization that serves others, one of their ways of serving is to invest in our future. They choose to help with some of the financial burdens that may be encounted for those students and families who are already working towards their futures.
All dual credit students were given an application for this scholarship. The Rotary Club chose to award a scholarship, paying for 1 dual credit course for each senior applicant. Congratulations to the follow Senior recipients,

At the Board of Education meeting on September 21, Mrs. Renshaw recognized a few outstanding BTE students.



It was Centers Day in MVE 5th grade! Today they had some hands on centers that were all about mixtures and solutions!











While completing the activity Outrunning CeeLo in Mr. Tipton's class, students learned how fossil dinosaur tracks reveal the speed the dinosaur was running and if they could win a race against that dinosaur. To determine the winner, students compared the length of their running steps with the dinosaur's steps. Gavin and Landon, High School SAM students, helped the students calculate if they would win the race or out run the dinosaur. Sadly, none of the middle school students could; however, Gavin and Landon would have had a chance!




Today is Mike McAfee Day at MVBT. We love our Technology Director and have been celebrating him all day. Mr. McAfee takes excellent care of the technology at MVBT. Thank you, Mr. McAfee! We appreciate you!
