Mabry Minute for Week of 07/30/17
Back to School
The countdown is on to the start of another great school year. We are getting the campus ready for the close to 800 kids to return.  A HUGE thank you to the Cura Family of Cura Sod for donating sod for the entire front of campus!!  We are working to beautify our spaces and make the campus great for kids to play. Thank you also to Joe Chiellini and Ameriscape Landscaping for contracting with us to complete the transformation.
 
We also need our families to help and pitch in!  Campus Beautification Day will be Saturday August 5th from 8am to 10am.  Bring your gloves and rake to help spread mulch.  Kids with manpower are welcome to come out and dig in ! And don't forget WATER.  We will try to provide some waters along with POPSICLES for kids but it gets hot so plan to stay hydrated. 
New Family Event - Popsicle in the Park!
New Mabry families please join us at the annual Popsicles in the Park event on Sunday, August 6th from 12pm - 2pm. Located at Friendship Park (rain or shine).  This event is a great way to meet other families and get valuable information on the school, PTA and other programs.
