At Mountain View Elementary, our dedicated teachers and staff give their all every day for our students. The MVE PTA's "Stock the Lounge" program is our way of returning that kindness, by periodically transforming the staff lounge into a haven of delicious treats and heartfelt appreciation.Throughout the year, we theme these events to match the season, showing our staff they are on our minds all year long.
