She was denied the right to attend school because she was considered a "fire hazard" at the age of five. Later in life, Judy was denied her teaching license after passing her oral and written exams, but being failed her medical exam. Judy  sued the Board of Education  and went on to become the first wheelchair user to become a teacher in the state of New York. Judy was an internationally recognized leader in the disability rights community. She was instrumental in the development and implementation of legislation, such as Section 504, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which have been advancing the inclusion of disabled people in the US and around the world and fighting to end discrimination against all those with disabilities.   COMMUNITY   Marin County Child Abuse and Prevention Council  Please join the  Marin Families First Forum to be held virtually on April 25, 2023, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.    Se e attached flyers ( English  &  Spanish ) for more information and a  registration link .

Parent Newsletter  Regular Board of Trustees Meeting - February 9, 2023 Mid-Winter Break - February 20 - 24, 2023 Regular Board of Trustees Meeting - March 9, 2023 Dear Mill Valley families, This week is National School Counseling week which gives me an opportunity to publicly say “thank you” to our MVSD counseling staff and all they do for our students. School counselors work to maximize student success, promoting access and equity for all students. As vital members of the school leadership team, school counselors create a school culture of success for all.   All of the MVSD Counselors support students, families, teachers and staff by providing resources and outreach to our whole community.  Our team sent out a newsletter this week which you can find  here .  I would also like to acknowledge that all of our teachers, aides, custodians, and support staff, play a role in providing social-emotional learning and student support every day. Thank you Mill Valley community for working together to give the best possible educational experience for our students. Yours in Education, Kimberly   STUDENT GUEST CONTRIBUTOR    Last week Edna Maguire featured an article written by fourth-grade student Magnolia Muse in their weekly newsletter.  Students have been invited to contribute to the newsletter throughout the month of February . These words are Magnolia's words and reflect her perspective on Black History in the U.S., viewed through the lens of a student of color at Edna Maguire. I am Magnolia Muse. I’m a fourth grader in Ms.Tran’s class and I’m here to teach you all about Black History.  It’s important that people understand about Black History because a lot of people get erased in the history books. Black people helped to build our country and were never given credit. Families were torn apart because slave-owners treated enslaved people like animals and traded them. Families were separated and never got to see each other again. Slavery should have never happened. A lot of our old presidents like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, but no one knows that because everyone thinks they are so great because they won the British war. I think people should know that about them because we can’t just live not knowing how evil Black people were treated, and continue to be treated, throughout U.S. history. I want to teach you about Biddy Mason because it teaches us about how far we can come from being enslaved at birth to becoming a successful businesswoman. Bridgette “Biddy” Mason’s life: Bridgette “Biddy Mason was born into slavery in 1818 without a last name. She was born in Mississippi or Hancock, Georgia. Shortly after birth she was separated from her mother. She got taken in by elder slaves. At a young age she was taught midwifery, herbal medicine, childcare, and livestock skills. She was very valuable to her owner Robert Smith and his wife. In 1851 Robert Smith moved to California where slavery was illegal. Smith earlier had converted to the Mormon religion and had gone to San Bernardino to create a Mormon community. In San Bernardino she met free slaves who told her that she, too, could be free. Later she went to court to be granted her freedom. During the case she and her daughters were held in the county jail because people were afraid Robert Smith would take her to Texas and force her to travel on foot again. In 1865 she was granted her freedom. That year, she moved to Los Angeles and took the last name Mason. In 1866, Biddy bought her first piece of land on Spring street for $250, which is now the heart of downtown L.A. She earned the money from her work in midwifery. From there she continued to buy and sell pieces of land making her one of L.A.’s richest women. At her death she had $3 million. She used her wealth from selling her land to donate to charities and visit prisoners and other acts of kindness. (This is why I love Biddy Mason. She wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but she died with one).   HEALTH UPDATES   COVID-19 Test Kits The District will be distributing another round of take-home test kits to students next Wednesday, ahead of February break, to ensure that everyone has access to at-home kits as needed.
