Announcement - For unto us a child is born; unto us a son is given

William Manley Maxwell Reno (7 lbs. 10 oz. 20 1/2 in.)

It is with great joy that Mr. and Mrs. Reno announce the birth of our new son: William Manley Maxwell Reno was born on December 28 (his due date), a day historically known as Childermas or Feast of the Innocents, the day the church remembers Herod's slaughtering of the first "martyrs": all the sons in Bethlehem two and under.

William ("Great Protector") - after his late cousin Will Reno, father-in-law's middle name, and Shakespeare, of course.

Manley ("Man's Meadow") - after Gerard Manley Hopkins, Victorian poet extraordinaire, one of Reno's favorite poets of all time (and one of Beniam's favorites, too). 

Maxwell ("Great Spring") - after my grandfather Max Reno, whom I never met but whom I wanted to honor. Max passed away when my father was nine years old.

Announcement: Senior Quote and Baby Pictures

Dear Seniors!  It’s that time of year again when you need to think about your senior quote and your baby photo for the yearbook.
Please take some time to think about your verse or quote as it will be printed under your senior photo and should reflect your beliefs!
 
When? Friday October 19th.  

Where? Please email them to bethbasilius@mvcs.org  

I don't know about me, and, frankly, I don't know about you either

Why?  So you don't get stuck with a quote about procrastination or apathy . . . or with a lyric about chillin' by da fiyah, eatin' fondu, and Justin Bieber's hormones.
