Cupid Dance part 2.
Our Cupid Dance was a blast! A special thank you to our PTO for planning such a wonderful event.
At Mountain Park, students are chosen every quarter who are exemplifying what it means to be a Mountaineer. Students who care for others, lead by example, invent solutions to problems, make responsible decisions, and behave safely are chosen by their teachers as the student of the Quarter. This wonderful group of students were chosen for the second quarter and treated to a Pizza with the Principal Lunch. We are very proud of all of our Mountaineers!
