So much to see and do!
2021 is coming to a close we tried to end it this week with a little joy on the anticipation of winter break...and perhaps a little cooler winter weather? Fortunately, our 'snowmen' did not melt!
We wish all of you a happy and safe holiday break. We look forward to seeing our students back at school in 2022 for the start of the second semester.
Please know we look forward to seeing everyone back on Wednesday, January 5!
MATHEWS EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR!

THANK YOU MATHEWS FAMILIES!
From Dara Villalpando, Principal at Head Start
Thank you for contributing brand new coats for our students this winter. With your generous donations, every Head Start student will go home for Winter Break in a coat of their choice. Our staff and our families are grateful for your contributions.
Happy Holidays!
