Dear Panther Family,
Loma Alta MS served as an Evacuation Center this past weekend to help families displaced by the Medina County Fires. Our community showed an overwhelming amount of support and generosity for which we are incredibly thankful. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
Our March 2022 MVISD Employee of the Month is also from Loma Alta MS, Sonia Chapa. Mrs. Chapa is a passionate leader who inspires those around her. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.
We also have many programs advancing to playoffs and state competitions. We will be cheering on both our Boys and Girls Soccer Teams in their area playoff games tomorrow, as well as FFA, BPA, Band and Choir as they advance to state competition.
Stay safe, and have a great week.
Dr. Rohrbach
