DRIVE 4UR SCHOOL - Saturday, April 1st

Monte Vista is hosting a DRIVE 4UR SCHOOL event this Saturday, April 1st from 8:00am - 4:00pm in the upper parking lot.

Ford Motor Company launched the Drive 4 UR School test-drive program in 2007 as a creative, low-pressure fund-raising opportunity for local schools. Ford offers a $20 donation for each valid test-drive, up to $6,000 total*, which can be used for sports, booster clubs, music programs and the many other miscellaneous expenses associated with running a school.

So mark your calendar for this Saturday - stop by Monte Vista between 8:00am and 4:00pm, test-drive a new Ford and raise some $$ for your local school!

*No Purchase Necessary. Drivers must be 18 years of ago and have a valid drivers license to test-drive a Ford vehicle. One eligible driver per household.

Congratulations to Mr. Carpenter and the new MESA Club!

Our MESA (Math, Engineering, Science, Achievement) club on campus competed in their first MESA Day at SDSU against all other San Diego County MESA schools.  We had teams code and design a prosthetic arm, build a balsa wood airplane and bridge, design an egg carrier to be dropped from 60 feet, and all of these students willingly took an age specific mathematics exam.  Travis Kulhanek took 1st place in the math test for 10th graders, Danielle Kelsey, Ami Sanders and Lea Sanders took 3rd place in the senior team math exam, and Brad Iglesia, Katy Clark, Luiz Gonzales, and Rubisela Gonzales took second place in the technical paper for the prosthetic arm competition!  Our winners will advance to the regional competition on April 1st.

Monarch Theatre Presents Once Upon a Mattress

 If you thought you knew the story of “The Princess and The Pea,” you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, the Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

 The show runs March 16 - 18th and 23 - 25th in The Little Theatre. Tickets are $7 in advance, $9 at the door and $3 for children under 9. ASB/GUHSD Theatre Student Discount is also honored.
