Dear Mustang Families,

As we hit the halfway point of the school year, we want to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together:

  • Holiday Sweet Shoppe: A sweet treat for our amazing teachers and staff.
  • Thanksgiving Pie Drive: Every staff member received a delicious pie—thank you for your generosity!
  • Original Works: A successful fundraiser that brought meaningful keepsakes to families.
  • Book Fair: Students loved picking new reads, and many teachers had wish lists fulfilled.

Coming Soon

The second half of the year is packed with fun:

  • Our STEM Clubs are forming now and will get underway in the new year.
  • The school musical is on the way with performances in February.
  • Family Movie Night and Skate Night are back!
  • New sessions of after-school enrichment for winter are here!
  • Musical Revue is underway.

Thank you for making this year such a great success so far. We can’t wait to see what the second half brings!

Wishing you a restful winter break.

Sharlyne Tsai, PTA President
