For November, we celebrated students who exemplify positivity, those who think optimistically, seek solutions, and focus on the success of themselves and others. These outstanding Pirates demonstrate what it means to be strong communicators, show gratitude, and empower those around them.

Congratulations to Muhammad Brown (not pictured), Dimas Garcia, Avalynne Humphrey, Erica Bosyuk, and Ashim Ssentongo!

Thank you for showing our OV community what positivity looks like every day. You don't just have a good day--you make a good day! 

As many of you may have heard, SNAP benefits were stalled last month, and this has impacted some families in our community. To help provide additional support, we are launching a schoolwide food drive to stock our Packs for Kids program (coordinated by Jim Tinsley). Our goal is to collect quick and easy dinner items that students can prepare at home.

We are asking for shelf stable, kid-friendly foods that don’t require extra ingredients like milk, butter or eggs. “Heat and eat” or “just add water” items are especially helpful.

Donations can be sent to school with your student or dropped off in the main office. Any contribution—big or small—helps support a family in our community.

Thank you for your continued care and generosity. Our Pirate community truly takes care of one another!

Please join us for the second annual Mukilteo School District Winter Food Drive, benefiting district students and families. District food drive runs from November 19 - December 5.

Drop off your non-perishable food items (see attached flyer for suggested items) to one of these three locations:

OV's Main Office (mark it "MSD Food Drive")

Mondays - Thursdays from 7:30am-4pm

The Family Engagement Center,

9600 Sharon Drive, Everett (House 3)

Mondays - Thursdays from 1pm-4pm

Mukilteo School District Office

9401 Sharon Drive, Everett

Weekdays from 8am - 4:30pm

We appreciate your help and support!

Some families are worried because help from SNAP (food benefits) has been impacted by the recent government shutdown. If your family needs extra food support, talk to your school counselor or Student Support Advocate—they can help assist you find additional resources.

If you or your family need more help, see or call our Student Support Advocate, Patty Nogueda, in the main office. She can be reached at 425-366-5224.

Congratulations! Your child has finished one-third of the school year and winter break will be here in just three weeks! To celebrate and connect, try a family read‑aloud (even just you and your middle schooler). Reading boosts vocabulary and fluency, and kids are more likely to read when they see adults reading. Just 10 minutes a day can spark great conversations and strengthen your bond. Please contact Mrs. Peterson, our librarian, if you would like any book suggestions! 

 

LEARNING LABS is open after school from 2:45-4pm in C143 (PE Health classroom) on Mondays through Thursdays.
