Happy November, Mustang Families!

We have another exciting week ahead at Mission Meadows!

This Thursday, November 5th, we invite all families to join us for our RIASEC Family Night from 5:30–7:00 PM in the MPR. Come enjoy pizza while learning, exploring, and imagining future possibilities together as a family! This interactive evening is a wonderful opportunity to explore different career interests and spark conversations about the future.


I'm also excited for my first Friday Sing since joining the Mission Meadows community! I hope you'll join us on Friday morning at 8:15 AM as we come together to celebrate our amazing Mustangs. As you exit, please take a moment to visit the beautiful Día de los Muertos Ofrenda displayed in our MPR.

Halloween Fun at Mission Meadows!

Our campus was filled with Halloween fun and excitement this week! Fifth graders from Mrs. Siulua’s class shared a fantastic Halloween poem, while students in our Extensive Needs Program practiced their trick-or-treating skills around campus. We wrapped up the festivities Friday morning with an adorable Monster Mash featuring our TK and Kindergarten students! It was wonderful to see so many families on campus celebrating with us. Thank you for making these moments so special for our Mustangs!
