Our staff might have been on Spring Break, but they weren't traveling alone! Our teachers and staff hit the road with some very special feathered friends.
From sandy beaches to mountain peaks, these lucky ducks saw it all! Check out the gallery below to see where our team (and their ducks) spent their vacations or staycations.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day!

Mars Elementary would like to recognize Ms. Patty and Mrs. Schuler both of whom keep everything running smoothly. Our administrative professionals are truly the heart of Mars - supporting staff and students, and handling whatever each day brings with skill and flexibility.

No two days are ever the same, and while so much of their work happens quietly, its impact is felt everywhere. Their dedication, problem-solving, and positive attitude make a difference in ways that often go unseen—but never unappreciated.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to you both.
You make it look effortless and always do it with a smile!

We appreciate you today and every day!
