THANK YOU, MR. KOK, AND WELCOME DR. BOOTSMA

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our Interim Superintendent, Mr. Don Kok, for his faithful service, steady leadership, and dedication to our school community over the past year. His guidance, encouragement, and commitment to MVC have made a lasting impact on both students and staff, and he will be greatly missed. We are truly grateful for the time, wisdom, and care he has poured into our school.

As we thank Mr. Kok for his leadership, we are also excited to welcome Dr. Paul Bootsma as our new Superintendent. Dr. Bootsma has already begun transitioning into his new role with the support and guidance of Mr. Kok, and we look forward to having him fully on board after Spring Break. We are excited for the future and the leadership he will bring to our MVC community.
