MVMS ASES students have participated in seasonal sports with students from other area ASES programs in Cross Country, Flag Football, Basketball, Volleyball, and Soccer.

MVMS ASES activities are organized on a six-week rotation and are posted on an activities calendar. Students select activities from a daily schedule based on interest in sports, recreation, technology, arts and crafts, food and nutrition, and more. We are always open to student ideas and suggestions as well. 

Students in both morning and afternoon programs are provided with an opportunity for a daily snack. 

ASES Programs include: 
1. An educational and literacy element provides homework assistance and academic support to help students meet state standards in reading/language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. A broad range of activities are based on students’ needs and interests.
