Mustangs kicked off Red Ribbon Week with a special visitor on Monday morning - Leo the Lion from Real Salt Lake.  He welcomed students to school with high fives and silly string and a message to stay healthy!  Thanks Leo and thanks RSL!

Mrs. Hancock's class just got a big surprise! Generous donors from Donors Choose funded the money to purchase several new chapter books for our classroom library. These donors have just made a big impact in 26 students' lives! We can't thank them enough, but we're doing our best to read every new book!

Thanks to all Mustangs who participated in the Reflections contest this year.  And, a BIG thank you to the PTA for all of their hard work!
