blessings

We’d like to give a huge THANK YOU to the Rustic Love Vienna Foundation. Rustic Love donated $4,000 to our Blessings in a Backpack food pantry program. They also made us a cool heart in our school colors.

Thank You!

Thanks to Rustic Love Vienna, who showed their support for Mosaic's Blessings in a Backpack program last week by making a generous donation and planting a Heart at the entrance to our school. We are excited to share the love and invite you to order your very own Mosaic-colored yard sign here. All proceeds from the signs will benefit our community while also encouraging philanthropy in our Mosaic elementary students! See pick-up details at the check-out and note that if you want to pick up your sign at the school office on Wednesday 3/16, you'll need to place your order by Tuesday, 3/15. Thank you for always supporting these wonderful families and dedicated volunteers!

Dear Mosaic ES Parents,

The school administration has reached out and asked for parent volunteers the week of March 7th. The goal is to help give our teachers a break! Parent volunteers will supervise students during recess and bring them to the cafeteria. Please sign up for one slot or many! Click here to sign up!

Thank you for assisting the teachers of our wonderful school!

Many thanks,

Mary Ann Linder

PTA Co-President
