🌟Celebrating 25 Years of Impact & Honoring Our Teachers in Our Final Year🌟

For 25 years, Estrella Elementary School has been a cornerstone of learning, growth, and opportunity for children. Thousands of students have walked our halls, guided by dedicated educators and staff who shaped futures and strengthened our community.

This year marks a bittersweet milestone. As Estrella Elementary prepares to close at the end of the school year, we are coming together to honor the teachers and staff who built this legacy. Throughout the coming months, we will celebrate our educators with meals, coffee, and meaningful moments of gratitude—and we invite our community to join us in showing appreciation for those who gave so much to Estrella.
