Let’s keep building READers and are creating LEADers! 🐴💙

Reading is key to success! Reading Folders are sent home as a resource for you to have between home and school to promote your child's reading. Readers are Leaders!

Mustangs got caught working hard! Collaboration and Critical Thinking is a way of life! Proud of our Mustangs!

What an awesome day with our 5th graders at the Perot Museum in Dallas! Watching our kids light up as they explored, discovered, and learned was something special. Days like this remind me why we do what we do. It’s more than a field trip — it’s an experience that opens doors, sparks curiosity, and shows our students that learning goes far beyond the classroom walls. Huge thanks to our staff and chaperones who made it happen. So proud of our Mustangs. We’re building thinkers, dreamers, and leaders — one experience at a time. 💙🐴

Looking forward to it!

🏆 Attendance Matters🏆 We celebrated our Lucky Attendance Award Winners this week. Five amazing students with perfect attendance were drawn and took home some awesome prizes: a brand new bike, four scooters, and two helmets! Our staff got in on the fun too! Two dedicated team members with perfect attendance won a Texas Roadhouse gift card because showing up matters for everyone! Every day counts. Every minute matters. You have to be here to learn and here to teach. Let’s keep showing up, staying committed, and chasing greatness together.

Mustang Award Winners! These students got caught doing the right thing!

Thursday is HOUSE DAY! Our House System builds teamwork, pride, and leadership across Mustang Country! Each House stands for something special—Service, Diligence, Kindness, and Positivity. It’s more than competition—it’s community. When we wear our house shirts every Thursday, we show unity, character, and Mustang pride! One HERD. One school. One heartbeat. 💙🐴

Mr. Stone is on the move again signing social contracts! We do Capturing Kids’ Hearts because it builds meaningful relationships. Flip Flippen’s process teaches us to connect before we correct—creating classrooms where students feel valued, safe, and motivated to learn. It helps us model respect, trust, and empathy so every child knows they matter.

Ms. Wetzel's class is hard at work! They are working so well together. Teamwork makes the dream work!

The mighty Fire Fighters showed up last week! They did a wonderful job presenting fire safety to our PreK-3rd grade students! Thank you to all the first responders especially our fire fighters for always keeping us safe.

We officially have our own Little Free Library on the map! We are thankful for this donation and are excited to see kids pick out a book to read!

✍️ Coach Stone is on a mission—signing every Social Contract in our school!

Through Capturing Kids’ Hearts, we’re building a culture where students hold each other accountable, treat others with respect, and create classrooms that feel like family. It’s more than rules—it’s ownership, responsibility, and relationships that change lives.

As Flip Flippen says:

“If you have a child’s heart… you have a child’s mind.” ❤️

That’s the Mustang way—connecting first, then chasing greatness together! 🐴
