Dear Bearcat Community,
I want to thank our incredible students and families for their enthusiastic participation in Celebrate Freedom Week. Your support and engagement truly made it a special week for our school community. As we head into the weekend, I wish you all a wonderful and restful time.
There is truly no place like Mora Elementary! Thank you for all you do to make our school such a special place.
Shine Bright!

Also highlighted is our Change Cave Art. GT students in 3rd-5th grade learned about prehistoric cave art and created their own drawings on display now! Each student had to draw images that portrayed a story of change or growth. 1st-2nd grade students joined in by adding their squiggle transformations to the cave as well.
September is Attendance Awareness Month
