Recap of Chelsea Clinton Visit By Odessa

On April 19th, Wednesday, Mill Valley Middle School welcomed a special guest: Chelsea Clinton. She was here to speak about her new book: It’s Your World.
A 8th grader, Zara, introduced Ms. Clinton.
Following, twenty students, a combination of 6th, 7th and 8th graders asked Ms. Clinton questions. These questions ranged from what it was like growing up in the White House, to advice, to homophobia in the current administration, to how we can create social change. Ms. Clinton answered honestly and warmly.
She discussed her proudest achievements, being a mother, running the Clinton foundation, why she wrote her book and criticism she faces in the public eye. She told us about her role model, her grandmother, who surpassed the odds against her.
“If you are blessed, it is your duty to extend the circle of blessings.”
“Take serious advice from serious people seriously and unserious advice from unserious people unseriously”
“Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.”
As acclaimed as Ms. Clinton’s parents are, Chelsea Clinton is certainly a notable figure of our present and future.

Pigs, Pigs, Pigs! By Rhianon

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!
