Happy Friday, Mount Vernon! Today's Faculty Friday spotlight is Kimberly Exford, Lower School Learning Coach & Varsity Cheer Assistant Coach.

Before Mount Vernon, she spent two years at Darlington School in Rome, Ga as well as a decade prior as a Center Director at a private learning center. In total, Kimberly has been in education for 13 years, and she truly enjoys helping students reach their full potential.

Outside of school, she enjoys coaching cheerleading, going to the movies, trying new restaurants, and reading. Since becoming a Mustang, she is most excited about her time spent getting to work with not only the students, but also my fabulous co-workers. We're happy to have you at MV, Kimberly! #FacultyFriday #mvpschool #bettertogether #madeinmv

Before the break, a cast and crew made up of Middle School students performed Fall One Acts, Box & Labeled. In addition to rehearsals, these students also met with internal MVXperts around labels and constraints we face in our day-to-day lives.

Congratulations to all involved with Box & Labeled for a great show! #mvpschool #madeinmv #bettertogether #mvarts
