Spring Break
Hard to believe that we are just a few days away from spring break!
We hope each of you have a restful enjoyable break...needless to say, it is well deserved!
Looking forward to an amazing, uplifting Open House! Allow yourself to enjoy our families celebrating YOU all you do for our children as they see how far their little ones have grown during this school year! I know it is about our students- but none of this would happen without each of you.
Welcome back Vevian! We are so glad to have you back as a Mathews Mav!
