Mattos Family Update
Week of February 12, 2024
February 19, 2024: President's Day
Dear Mattos Families,
It's a busy time of year at Mattos! We are working on projects for this school year, while also planning for the 24-25 school year. Some of my most favorite events are coming- PTA Founders' Day, Mattos Marathon, and Mattos Open House. In between all that we have the end to the second trimester and report cards shortly after that. If you haven't seen a Mattos basketball game yet, I'd encourage you to come by later this month to cheer on our teams at one of their final two games. And finally, we are opening our home (campus) to prospective families on Sunday, February 25th. This is time for families who are interested in joining our Mattos family through the science magnet process to visit our campus and learn more. We have over 100 RSVPs so far, which is AMAZING!
Happy Lunar New Year!
