Students from Taiwan Visit MV
Mt. Vernon High School
welcomed 16 students
and 2 staff members
from Neihu High School
in Taipei, Taiwan, this
past week. Families
from around the MV
community served as
hosts, and the visiting students were able to experience our culture
both within the school as well as through visits to the Children’s
Museum, a Pacers game, and Ball State University. Not only were
the visitors able to experience our culture, but they
were able to share their own culture with the
students and staff of MV. Many of these MV
students who helped by serving as hosts will
also be traveling in June of 2020 to visit Neihu
High School so they will get to see these new
friends’ homes!

MV Reads: News From the Library
"I touch the future. I teach." - Christa McAuliffe
This week I would like to spotlight MVHS English teacher and Staff Reader, Mrs. Schiller. She is
married with two children, teaches several different courses (including two AP courses), and
sponsors the school newspaper. Even with this busy life, she finds a way to make reading a priority.
Here’s what she had to say about her love of reading:
“I can't remember a time I "fell in love" with books because I have always loved them. My earliest
memories are of curling up in my mom's lap and reading together. Growing up we lived in Southern
California and for awhile we only had one car, so we'd take the city bus to the library and spend hours
there. They had a playhouse filled with cushions and I'd lay back on one and read until it was time to go
home. That love of books has never left me. Reading is a priority for me and I do it every single day. I
am always in the middle of at least four books. I have my classroom book for silent reading time, my
bedside book which I read each night, my audiobook that I listen to during my long commute to school,
and a non-fiction book I pick up whenever the mood hits me. I'm part of a school book club and
participate in at least three reading challenges each year. My first one was the Rosie book challenge. I
still have two left on the Pop Sugar book challenge. And, I am proud to say my goal of reading 125
books this year was completed in September. I'm currently at book 145 and I still have seven weeks to
go! My kids are also HUGE readers and there is little I love more than curling up with them and reading.
In fact, my son and I have read the entire Harry Potter series together. He starts one page and I read the
next. Now I am working through them with my daughter. She gets book 4 for her 10th birthday in
March. Books are the reason I became an English teacher and one of the many reasons I love my job!”
