A big thank you to the wonderful Coach Sarah Hansford and her amazing volunteers for introducing our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders to archery today! 🏹 Students can begin participating in our National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) starting in 4th grade and continue all the way through high school. This year, our archers competed at the state level and finished near the top third of all participating schools—an incredible accomplishment! Additionally, our entire MVES team earned a spot in the national competition, which will be held in May. We’re also proud of the growth our students showed this season. Many had never picked up a bow before this year and made tremendous progress, with some scoring as high as 250 out of 300! If your student is interested in joining, be on the lookout for sign-up information in the fall, and check with their homeroom teacher for details.

Attention 2nd–5th grade Mustangs — it’s go time! Show what you know, crush your goals, and earn your chance to glow at the party! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Our 4th Annual Spring Carnival was a huge success, thanks to our amazing MVES families and generous community members! Your support means the world to our Mustangs, and we appreciate each and every one of you. Without the help of our students, staff, families, community members, and local businesses, this event would not be possible. So many people had a hand in making this year a success that we simply couldn’t name them all—but please know how thankful we are for every donation, every helping hand, and every bit of support given before, during, and after the carnival. This is truly one of our favorite events because it reflects the strength of our Mustang community and the way everyone comes together for our students. Because of this year’s incredible success, we are excited to announce that ALL school supplies will be covered for the 2026–27 school year! Thank you for continuing to make a difference for MVES! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Mrs. Charon and Mr. Scarbro’s second grade classes had a wonderful field trip today to the Rockcastle County Public Library! While visiting, students learned about the many programs and resources the library offers to our community. They also enjoyed listening to Mrs. Olivia read A Bad Case of Stripes, which quickly became a class favorite. To top off the day, students had the chance to show off their creativity by participating in a follow-along painting activity led by Mrs. Olivia. Each child created their very own masterpiece! A special thank you to the Rockcastle County Public Library for welcoming us and for all the amazing things they do for our community. We appreciate you!
