Mather Thanks Our Amazing Community Supporters!
We are incredibly grateful to the community members who contributed to Mrs. Kelto's 4th Grade Book Campaign, making it possible for our 4th graders to gift their Kindergarten buddies a brand-new book each month. This meaningful program not only builds a love of reading, but also strengthens the special connections between our older and younger students.
For the month of December, our Kindergarten buddies were thrilled to receive a special holiday book, How to Catch a Gingerbread Man, as their Christmas gift. The joy on their faces—and the pride of our 4th graders as they shared the story—was truly heartwarming.
Thank you for investing in literacy, kindness, and the power of mentorship at Mather Elementary. Your generosity is helping create lasting memories and a lifelong love of reading.

Family Safety Reminder
As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety, we encourage families to make sure that all tobacco products, vaping devices, medications, and other adult-only items are kept securely stored and out of children’s reach. Young learners are naturally curious, and preventing access helps us ensure their health and safety both at home and at school.
Thank you for helping us create a safe environment for all Mustangs.
