3rd Grade has a long tradition of painting Dala Horses. Students worked hard to sand them, paint them orange, and then use fine details to make the pattern. Special thank you to the high school wood shop students for cutting the horses out.

Congratulations to Mrs. Jacobson, our Certified Mustang Spirit Award winner for May! Mrs. Jacobson’s dedication shines through in her collaboration with her grade-level team and other elementary school initiatives. Her exceptional reading instruction empowers students to reach new heights in their literacy skills. Thank you, Mrs. Jacobson, for your incredible contributions to the students and staff at Mora Elementary!

As a way to wrap up a collaborative project done with Mrs. Ostein’s 8th graders, Mrs. Donaghue’s class joined them for some ice cream treats, playground time, and color tag. A great time was had by both classes!

Over the past few weeks, the students in Mrs. Miller's class have been diligently working on their jungle animal projects. Today, we welcomed their families for a special jungle-themed tour that showcased all their hard work.

The students proudly presented their creative displays featuring sloths, pandas, koalas, alligators, elephants, tigers, and lions. Guests were also treated to a jungle cruise experience that highlighted the students' imaginative storytelling and creativity.

We wrapped the tour with refreshments, celebrating the students' effort and enthusiasm in bringing the jungle to life.
