Landels News
Dear Landels Families,
In our morning meeting on Tuesday, we talked about how small acts of kindness - a smile or a high five - can have a huge impact. Kindness is a choice we make every day. It shows up in how we speak, how we listen, and how we treat others - even when it’s not the easiest option. Choosing kindness helps create a community where everyone feels valued, respected, and safe. This week, students have been engaging in random acts of kindness and completing their kindness challenge. I’m proud of our students and the Landels community for choosing kindness this week and always.

Let’s Kick Off the New Year Strong by Supporting MVEF!
Love seeing your children enjoy art, music, and hands-on science in our elementary schools—and smaller English class sizes, athletics, clubs, and other enriching opportunities in our middle schools?
These programs are made possible by the power of our community’s support.
MVWSD is home to one of the most socio-economically diverse student populations in the Bay Area. Donations to MVEF ensure that all students benefit from these essential programs, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
As we begin the second half of the school year, we invite you to make a tax-deductible donation to help sustain and strengthen these programs. Gifts of any amount make a meaningful impact and help MVEF enrich education for every MVWSD student.
