This generosity helps meet a vital need in our school community and reflects the spirit of care and compassion that strengthens us all.

📚 Learning in Action with Ms. Martin's 4th Grade Class! ✈️
The timing couldn't have been better for today's activity! As part of their lessons on the auto industry, entrepreneurship, and assembly lines, Ms. Martin's 4th grade class held a manufacturing competition using paper airplanes.
Students competed in two teams: assembly line production vs. individual manufacturing. The assembly line team outpaced the others in quantity, while the individual manufacturers produced higher-quality airplanes. This hands-on activity brought the lesson to life, allowing students to experience the pros and cons of both production methods firsthand.
Amazing work, 4th graders—learning through experience makes all the difference! 🌟
Mark your calendars and come support our Mini-Mustang Youth Basketball teams playing at halftime at our upcoming JV & Varsity home games!
Kindergarten and Fourth Grade Reading Buddies at Mather Elementary had an amazing time today! They shared the joy of reading a new book together and got creative by making paper airplanes. Everyone is excited and ready for tomorrow’s big paper airplane contest! It's wonderful to see these buddy groups growing in friendship, learning, and fun. Go, Mather Mustangs! 🏫📚✈️
