Friends of Rye Nature Center visit MVHA

Mount Vernon Honor Academy was excited to welcome Friends of Rye Nature Center, who brought their mobile Nature Station and a variety of live animals, this Monday. The students had an opportunity to explore the Nature Station and learn more about animals, habitats and life cycles. The students had a great time learning facts about Popcorn the snake and Buddy the rabbit.  

It’s never too early to start thinking about your career, and Mount Vernon Honor Academy students heard about a number of interesting jobs from adults and their entrepreneurial classmates at Career Day this Tuesday. 

Mount Vernon Honor Academy hosted a heartwarming “Bring Your Child to Work Day” last Friday, welcoming children ages 3-21 to spend the day learning about the incredible work their parents do.

The aroma of essential oils filled the gymnasium at Mount Vernon Honor Academy Wednesday as mothers made their way in for a morning of meditation and mindfulness. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the school is putting on various events to educate families about the importance of social and emotional health.

Girls Who Code Clubs are free computer science programs designed for students in grades 3-12, and students at Mount Vernon Honor Academy have been participating to learn about coding. These clubs provide a supportive environment where girls can learn coding skills, build confidence, and develop a sense of community. Club members work on projects that address real-world problems, learn fundamental programming concepts, and engage in activities that promote social-emotional development.

Yinette Fernandez, a parent at MVHA, volunteers once a month as the club's advisor.

Mount Vernon Honor Academy inducted eight students into the Junior Honor at a ceremony on Friday morning.

Congratulations to the inductees on this amazing accomplishment!
