Dear MVCS Community,<\/p>\n
As I conclude my second one-year term as President of the Mount Vernon Community School PTA, I find myself reflecting on how extraordinary our community is. Serving this school and its families has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. During the past two years, I have had the privilege of working alongside an incredible group of volunteers, educators, staff members, and families who care deeply about ensuring that every MVCS student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.<\/p>\n
These past two years have brought significant challenges. As federal and local grant funding came to an end and ACPS faced difficult budget decisions, the needs of our school community continued to grow. In response, our PTA stepped forward. Through the generosity of our families, local businesses, and community partners, we successfully increased our fundraising efforts to help bridge critical gaps and continue supporting programs, events, classroom resources, teacher appreciation initiatives, family engagement opportunities, student enrichment activities, and our amazing Blessings in a Backpack program.<\/p>\n
I am especially proud that we have remained committed to transparency and responsible stewardship of the resources entrusted to us. Our PTA budget and financial reports are always available to our community, and I encourage anyone interested to review our budget document here:\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/ None of this work would have been possible without the remarkable members of our board.<\/p>\n I would like to offer a special thank you to our outgoing board members:<\/p>\n Each of them has contributed countless hours of service, creativity, and dedication to MVCS. Their leadership has made our school community stronger, more welcoming, and better connected.<\/p>\n I would also like to recognize the individuals who will be joining the board next year:<\/p>\n In addition, Meg Calnan will transition from Vice President of Fundraising to Vice President of Communications, where her energy and talent will continue to be tremendous assets to our organization.<\/p>\n Most importantly, I want to recognize Victoria Chang, who has served with distinction as our Treasurer for the past two years and who will become the next President of the MVCS PTA.<\/p>\n Victoria has been an exceptional partner throughout my tenure. Her thoughtful leadership, financial expertise, steady judgment, and unwavering commitment to our students have helped guide our PTA through a period of significant growth and responsibility. I could not be prouder\u2014or more confident\u2014in handing this important torch to her. Under Victoria’s leadership, alongside next year’s outstanding board, I know the MVCS PTA will continue to flourish and find new ways to support our students, families, teachers, and staff.<\/p>\n While my role as President is ending, my commitment to MVCS is not. This school has given so much to my family, and I look forward to continuing to support our community in new ways in the years ahead. I will continue to serve on the Board in the “Past President” role and I have\u00a0just accepted\u00a0the Executive Director position\u00a0with the Caboose Fund (www.caboosefund.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n Thank you for your trust, your partnership, your volunteer hours, your donations, your ideas, and your belief in what we can accomplish together. The strength of MVCS has always been its people, and I remain incredibly optimistic about the future of our school.<\/p>\n With gratitude,<\/p>\n Evan Wilson For more information about the PTA and ways to get involved, please visit\u00a0<\/span>mvcspta.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Estimada comunidad de MVCS:<\/p>\n Al concluir mi segundo mandato consecutivo de un a\u00f1o como Presidente de la PTA de Mount Vernon Community School, me encuentro reflexionando sobre lo extraordinaria que es nuestra comunidad. Servir a esta escuela y a sus familias ha sido una de las experiencias m\u00e1s gratificantes de mi vida. Durante los \u00faltimos dos a\u00f1os, he tenido el privilegio de trabajar junto a un incre\u00edble grupo de voluntarios, educadores, miembros del personal y familias que se preocupan profundamente por garantizar que cada estudiante de MVCS tenga la oportunidad de aprender, crecer y prosperar.<\/p>\n Estos \u00faltimos dos a\u00f1os han tra\u00eddo desaf\u00edos importantes. A medida que la financiaci\u00f3n de subvenciones federales y locales llegaba a su fin y ACPS enfrentaba dif\u00edciles decisiones presupuestarias, las necesidades de nuestra comunidad escolar continuaron creciendo. En respuesta, nuestra PTA dio un paso al frente. Gracias a la generosidad de nuestras familias, empresas locales y socios comunitarios, logramos aumentar con \u00e9xito nuestros esfuerzos de recaudaci\u00f3n de fondos para ayudar a cubrir brechas cr\u00edticas y seguir apoyando programas, eventos, recursos para las aulas, iniciativas de reconocimiento a los docentes, oportunidades de participaci\u00f3n familiar, actividades de enriquecimiento estudiantil y nuestro incre\u00edble programa Blessings in a Backpack.<\/p>\n Me enorgullece especialmente que hayamos mantenido nuestro compromiso con la transparencia y la administraci\u00f3n responsable de los recursos que se nos han confiado. El presupuesto y los informes financieros de nuestra PTA siempre est\u00e1n disponibles para nuestra comunidad, y animo a cualquier persona interesada a revisar nuestro documento presupuestario aqu\u00ed: https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1aIBx9BF85MTd2IUGJNxAOcewoL5DYReZwOdlCXC6rzM\/edit?usp=sharing.<\/p>\n Nada de este trabajo habr\u00eda sido posible sin los extraordinarios miembros de nuestra junta directiva.<\/p>\n Me gustar\u00eda expresar un agradecimiento especial a los miembros salientes de nuestra junta:<\/p>\n Cada una de ellas ha contribuido con incontables horas de servicio, creatividad y dedicaci\u00f3n a MVCS. Su liderazgo ha hecho que nuestra comunidad escolar sea m\u00e1s fuerte, m\u00e1s acogedora y est\u00e9 mejor conectada.<\/p>\n Tambi\u00e9n me gustar\u00eda reconocer a las personas que se unir\u00e1n a la junta el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o:<\/p>\n Adem\u00e1s, Meg Calnan pasar\u00e1 de ser Vicepresidenta de Recaudaci\u00f3n de Fondos a Vicepresidenta de Comunicaciones, donde su energ\u00eda y talento seguir\u00e1n siendo enormes activos para nuestra organizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Lo m\u00e1s importante es que quiero reconocer a Victoria Chang, quien ha servido con distinci\u00f3n como nuestra Tesorera durante los \u00faltimos dos a\u00f1os y que se convertir\u00e1 en la pr\u00f3xima Presidenta de la PTA de MVCS.<\/p>\n Victoria ha sido una socia excepcional durante todo mi mandato. Su liderazgo reflexivo, experiencia financiera, criterio s\u00f3lido y compromiso inquebrantable con nuestros estudiantes han ayudado a guiar a nuestra PTA durante un per\u00edodo de crecimiento y responsabilidad significativos. No podr\u00eda sentirme m\u00e1s orgulloso \u2014ni m\u00e1s confiado\u2014 al entregarle esta importante responsabilidad. Bajo el liderazgo de Victoria, junto con la extraordinaria junta del pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o, s\u00e9 que la PTA de MVCS continuar\u00e1 prosperando y encontrar\u00e1 nuevas maneras de apoyar a nuestros estudiantes, familias, docentes y personal.<\/p>\n Aunque mi funci\u00f3n como Presidente est\u00e1 llegando a su fin, mi compromiso con MVCS no. Esta escuela le ha dado much\u00edsimo a mi familia, y espero seguir apoyando a nuestra comunidad de nuevas maneras en los a\u00f1os venideros. Continuar\u00e9 sirviendo en la Junta en el cargo de \u201cPresidente Anterior\u201d y acabo de aceptar el puesto de Director Ejecutivo del Caboose Fund (www.caboosefund.org).<\/p>\n Gracias por su confianza, su colaboraci\u00f3n, sus horas de voluntariado, sus donaciones, sus ideas y su convicci\u00f3n en lo que podemos lograr juntos. La fortaleza de MVCS siempre ha sido su gente, y sigo siendo incre\u00edblemente optimista sobre el futuro de nuestra escuela.<\/p>\n Con gratitud,<\/p>\n Evan Wilson Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre la PTA y las formas de participar, visite mvcspta.org.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Estimada comunidad de MVCS, Al concluir mi segundo mandato de un a\u00f1o como presidenta de la PTA de Mount Vernon Community School, me encuentro reflexionando sobre lo extraordinaria que es nuestra comunidad.
