Order Some Fall Baked Goods to Support MVHS Post-Prom!
The theme for fundraising this year has been “keep it local”! Instead of getting donuts through a large corporation, Post Prom decided to partner with White Tree Bakery! White Tree has prepared a set menu of cupcakes (sold by the dozen) and take-and-bake scones (sold by the half-dozen). They will give 30% of the profits to our post-prom fund!
Just use the QR code and it will take you to the online Google form where you can place your order and schedule your pick-up.
You can only select one flavor of cupcake & one flavor of scone at a time. If you want a second flavor, just submit a second order 🙂.
Please, help us create a fun and safe environment for our students after prom this spring, support a local business, and enjoy some delicious treats! (Orders will be ready just in time for Thanksgiving!) … See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to MVMS Choir Students who participated in Treble Fest at Clear Creek Amana High School on October 30, 2024. This event is a little different from other honor choirs students may have been a part of in the past because this event focuses on the learning of music and creating music together instead of a concert.

Mount Vernon students include: Genevieve Hunt, Kaedynce Hanson, Kaylin Klimek, Paige Parker, Aubree Meester, Ronnie Yeater, Sloane Johnson, Leila Wilford, Paxten Pisarik, Frankie Uthe and Sasha Knutson. … See MoreSee Less
