Celebrations
The Holiday Market was a huge success! Thank you to Ashley Contreras and all of the parent volunteers who helped make this possible for our kids.
Mott Night at Hutto Double Dave's Pizza - They deliver!
Tuesday December 11 from 5 - 8 p.m. at Double Dave’s Pizza in Hutto. No need to cook, just order and pick it up or have it delivered. It’s EASY and Mr. Tristan says the $1 Pizza Rolls are AWESOME!
There will be no code word. Mott gets a percentage of total sales. So anything that is bought between those hours, regardless if the customers are there for Mott or not, will go towards our percentage. So tell your friends!!
Families can order online by going to www.doubledaves.com and choosing the Hutto location or by calling 512-642-3959.
Thank you for helping out our school!

TASB hosts the Student Video Contest every other year to coincide with the legislative session. Students are invited to make a video to show the world why their school is awesome.
This year, entries will be accepted December 3, 2018, through January 18, 2019, in three categories: elementary, middle, and high school (one entry per campus). Cash awards for their campuses are $5,000 for first place and $2,500 for second place in each of the three categories.
