You not only directed this group of kids from all walks of life to create an amazing show, but you did so with confidence and kindness. You are great leaders for these students and we are so proud to see how much you have grown through this process. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. — Mr. and Mrs. McHenry

Mountain View Performing Arts Association

What are we?

We are a group of parents and volunteers who work together to raise money to help Mountain View School District’s Band, Chorus and Dra-ma programs in both the high school and the elementary school.

What do we do?

Our fundraisers vary and we are always looking for more ideas. This year, we have planned a food sale at the PTO Craft Fair, bake sales for the concerts and our Harford Fair booth.

We supply the various organizations with funds needed to run programs and make them amazing.

We also volunteer our time to our teachers and students and are always looking for more help.

What is the time commitment?

We meet once a month and the meetings vary by day of the week so everyone can attend. Volunteers are always needed to run/work at events or make food!

How do I get involved? Email us at mvperformingartsassoc@gmail.com

Our children deserve our best and this is one way that parents can partner with teachers to give them

just that!
