The pig races have come and gone again, to be back next year. Thank you to every single person who traded in ten or more tickets. That’s $100 that goes to funding to all the cool stuff we have in MVMS, including the iPads and all of the electives. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year here at MVMS. Every single ticket you sold helped your school be what it is. Also, congratulations to every person who got into the Grand Pig Pre. Getting to that annual race is a big accomplishment. It's fun because you help your school while having fun!
SweetHearts - Candy Hearts Most Americans have heard of NECCO Wafers, the first candy in America. In 1847, NECCO wafers were created by Oliver Chase, also known as the starter of the American Candy industry. Oliver Chase is pretty famous, but did you know that he had a brother? Daniel Chase Created the first SweetHearts ® candy hearts in 1866. To make them he used a new machine of his that could press food dye letters onto heart shaped NECCO wafers. Thanks to him, every year around and on Feb 14, we get to read and taste the little colorful candy hearts, one of the idols of modern Valentine’s Day.
