We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will

increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. But only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and less students are studying it than a decade ago.

That’s why our entire school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 7-13).  More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code.

Our Hour of Code is a statement that Monte Vista is ready to teach these foundational 21st century skills. To continue bringing programming activities to

your students, we want to make our Hour of Code event huge. I encourage you to volunteer, reach out to local media, share the news on social media

channels and consider hosting additional Hour of Code events in the community. This is a chance to change the future of education in Lancaster.
