Flora Arca Mata Elementary School

The Mustangs showed remarkable commitment and enthusiasm at the track and field games on Saturday, with students delivering outstanding performances and earning multiple first, second, and third-place finishes. Love the heart our students showed at these games, looking forward to next year because we will be coming for a title!

We had 4 teams that advanced to regionals in MESA this year, we took third in the math escape and waiting on the coding competition to finish. So proud of these students and their dedication, they are truly amazing humans and will accomplish anything they want in life. Mustang Proud! Let’s Go!!!!

Our Mustangs represented today at MESA, taking home multiples 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes, with four teams moving onto the regional competition in April. So proud of these students and their dedication. Good job Mustangs!!!!

Apologies for the delayed posting, but on September 12th, we hosted our annual Multi-Cultural Night, which was a resounding success, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of numerous Mata families. The PLUS team invested considerable effort into ensuring the evening was enjoyable and engaging.

Today, our volleyball teams achieved a clean sweep, winning every set. Let's go!!!

Boys were BALLIN!!! AGAIN! Even got our pregame prayer led by a 6th grader. Love these boys and all opportunities to lift up our communities young men!

Good job to Ms. Tellez and Ms. Willis and to our 5th grade poets! They did a great job teaching the audience about the genre and background of each poem and reciting it through voice and hand movements. I'm proud of all of you. Go Mustangs!

Our boys dominated their basketball game today. Next up is the Stagg tourney next Friday. Come out and support our Mustangs.

The 8th Annual PLUS Summit was a success. Our PLUS students enjoyed themselves, and we topped it off by winning the t-shirt contest.

Our MESA team delivered an outstanding performance today. We now look forward to regionals in Santa Cruz, where our coding team secured a well-deserved 2nd place. Congratulations, team!

It was a joy to see so many Mata families come out to Holidays Around the World. Our PLUS leaders did an exceptional job organizing and running this event.
