Letter from the MCA PresidentLetter from the MCA PresidentLetter from the MCA PresidentLetter from the MCA President As we say goodbye to 2013, I want to thank our Mundy

kids (and parents) for making Kids Korner so special.

The students took such pride and pleasure in picking out

that “perfect gift.” I feel so privileged that I got to share

in their excitement. Thank you to Chris Baskerville for

bringing this great event to our school.

The Holiday Fair was also a huge success, thanks to our

whole Mundy community, especially Eric Gonzales and

the Room Parents! The Dessert Auction was a fun new

addition. Thank you to the Rote Family for the awe-

some Dessert Wars Display!

Proceeds from the Fair purchased 20 new Chrome Books

and will also be used to start planning the 5th Bi-Annual

Denim & Diamonds Auction, which will be held on No-

vember 15, 2014.

Our first Family Fun Event of 2014 will be Movie Night.

We will be featuring Despicable Me 2. We promise to

have more pizza and will be moving concessions to the

foyer in order to have more viewing area. In return, we

are asking, if you can, please park unused strollers in the

music room for safe keeping.

Thank you Everyone for a great 2013. Our MCA is gear-

ing up for an awesome new year.

Venus

Happy New Year Mundy Families!

Our amazing teachers have been working hard to jump right into full implementation of Common Core State

Standards (CCSS). They spent an entire day mapping out the rest of the year, weeding through the old stan-

dards, creating formative assessments aligned with the Common Core standards are more. We are EXCITED to

get CCSS fully implemented at Mundy and see how our students con-

tinue to grow! Want to know what the differences and what some of

the commonly asked questions are? Take a look: http://

Our technology on campus continues to grow! Students bringing their own devices

such as Chrome Books, iPads, iPods, Kindles, and iPhones to answer research ques-

tions, create reports, search for up-to-date information, and complete formative assessments! They are even

learning to code! This so exciting and our teachers know that our students must be 21st Century learners in

order to keep up with the rest of the world! Take a look at a great clip regarding 21st Century learning and

why it’s so important: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax5cNlutAys

We continue to focus on specific character traits for our Student of the Month program. You may have seen

the new colorful posters around campus reminding our students of great character traits they should follow.

Look for postcards in the mail from your teacher and from me for an invitation to a special lunch if your stu-

dent is nominated!

We are revisiting student goals this month to ensure that our students are on track with the goals that they set

for themselves at the beginning of the school year. Look for the updates in the front office by the end of the

month!

Please stop by our website at nmes.fsusd.org and see all of the information that Mrs. Chase has put on there!

There are ways to support our school, the weekly newsletter, the Million-AR club, our Twitter feed, MCA up-

dates and more! It is a WEALTH of information!! If you are still not receiving my weekly updates with im-

portant information, monthly calendar, and much more, please be sure to email me at [email protected] .

We are well into our fantastic school year and hope everyone has a great 2014!

Mundy Rocks!!

How long have you been teaching?

I’ve been working in education since I graduated for UCD in 2010. Before coming to

Mundy, I was a Director of Education at Sylvian Learning Center, where I worked with

kids in all grades K-12.

What Inspired you to become a teacher?

I was inspired by some amazing teachers I had in elementary through high-school.

They were so important in my life. I’ve always wanted to become a teacher so I could

make that kind of positive difference in the lives of children.

Biography

I grew up in the San Jose area and attended UC Davis for both undergrad and grad school. I married my

husband Eric in 2012, and we moved to Cordelia this summer. It’s a little bit windy, be we love it here!

I’m crazy about animals; we have two dogs, a kitty, and a pair of guinea pigs. I’m training my younger

dog in the sport of “agility.” I also love to read, play board games with friends, and visit the beach.

Favorites

My favorite colors are green and silver. My favorite beverage is an iced mocha. My favorite mythologi-

cal creature is the unicorn.

Words of Wisdom

“Education is not he filling of the pail, but the lighting of a fire.” —W.B. Yates
