New Updates



Tiger Up Time-Team Building and Teamwork:


The MVHS Football Team and Coach Kerr joined our students on Wednesday afternoon to speak to them about the importance of teamwork and team building. Both the HS Football Players and Coach Kerr did an excellent job at explaining how Faith, Family, Focus, and Finish play important roles in creating a successful team. We are very thankful for the time each of these young men gave to our students. Their impact was appreciated and worthwhile.


Following the Tiger Up Assembly, our students discussed these components and other key elements about building their team building skills and their capacity to work together. The objectives that we covered during this time were:


  • What does it mean to work as a team?
  • Why is teamwork important
  • Had students participate in whole group team building exercises.



Please feel free to discuss teamwork and team building further with your child/ren.
