We are a group of Parent volunteers committed to our children and MAV! Our purpose is to give back to our school, by creating memorable experiences that will make these formative years fun and enriching for our kiddos
But we can’t do it without you! Sign up for a PSO Family Sponsorship to directly contribute to the cause, become a PSO board member or volunteer to support a festival or event! Plenty of love (and work!) to go around!
