Panda Express Fundraiser

Calling all Mohr Friends and Families! 

In an effort to bring every classroom at Mohr Elementary into the 21st century to enhance the learning experience for all our students, Panda Express on Santa Rita Road will be hosting a fundraiser on Wednesday, October 18th to help our school meet our Tech Trek goal of $70,000.  We would love it if you could join us for lunch or dinner to help raise this much needed money for our school.  20% of all proceeds will come directly to our school.  HERE is a copy of the flyer that you must bring with you in order to participate in this fundraiser. Tell your family and friends to join us. We hope to see everyone there!  Thanks for your continued support.

Support staff funding at Mohr Elementary by joining PPIE for the 13th Annual Fall Gala - Night of the Stars on October 13, 6-9 pm at Castlewood Country Club.

So, please register here - you can even indicate seating preferences (with friends, school, etc.). Get your tickets today!

Week 6 Newsletter

What a busy week we had! Thursday was International Peace Day, so our whole school put out pinwheels on the school's Peace Hill. A perfect, windy day for pinwheels! Students worked hard on their Native American Regions presentations, which they presented in class on Wednesday. And last, in Reader's Workshop we are now working in Book Clubs to promote deeper conversations on what we are reading. The class was very excited to start Book Clubs!

A note from Mrs. Robertson:
Mrs. Robertson, our music teacher, has asked students to visit her site so they may learn the lyrics to the various songs they are practicing with her. Please have your students access the site HERE.
