Mather Elementary Reminder for Families
Winter weather can still stick around through April and even early May, so please continue sending students to school with snow pants, boots, hats, gloves, and warm jackets. Having the proper gear helps ensure students stay warm, dry, and comfortable while enjoying outdoor recess.
We are also seeing a high number of illnesses circulating in the school. To help keep everyone healthy and prevent the spread of illness, please remember that students must be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn. We appreciate your partnership!

Mather Paralympics Day!
Today our Mather students participated in a Paralympics event, where grade levels had the opportunity to experience activities that celebrate perseverance, determination, and the incredible abilities of athletes of all kinds.
Students participated in races designed to help them understand how athletes adapt and overcome challenges while showing incredible strength, focus, and resilience. Through these activities, everyone gained a deeper appreciation for how challenging it can be to adapt when everyday tasks become more difficult.
Throughout the event, our students demonstrated amazing teamwork, encouragement, and positive energy for one another.
Events like this help our students learn important lessons about empathy, inclusion, and perseverance -values we strive to build every day at Mather Elementary. Never Give Up!!
