And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13

LIBRARY BOOK DRIVE – Mountain View has exciting news! The Junior Honor Club, in partnership with the National Honor Society, is launching a new project to reorganize our school library for the benefit of all students. We are reaching out to you for gently used Christian books, classics, fiction, and non fiction history books and reference books that you may be willing to donate. Additionally, if you are open to contributing financially for book purchases, we would greatly appreciate your support. Your generosity will help us build a more extensive and varied library.
