Students Voted for Our New T-Shirt Design

It was quite an exciting moment at our Flag Ceremony in June, when our outgoing and incoming PTA Presidents, Melody Drake and Tina Guss, revealed our new t-shirt design that the students voted on the previous month. As the poster of the t-shirt was revealed, the students cheered so loudly, there was a moment of pure Monarch pride. It was so great to see them empowered to make their choice. See the design they choose above with our new theme "Dream Big" on it.

Box Tops for Mariposa

Box Tops for Mariposa

Please help us collect Box Tops. If you will cut them out, and have your child turn them in to his or her homeroom teacher, we will benefit as a school. This collective effort helps us purchase much needed supplies and materials. You are bringing money to our students' programs. We thank you in advance for being our partners in this worthy endeavor.

Kudos to You, Monarchs!

Mariposa is being recognized by the business community of California for our outstanding success in raising student academic achievement. After an extensive analysis of student achievement data for every public school in California, our school was one that stood well above the rest in getting our students to grade level proficiency and beyond. It is for this reason we have been named a California Business of Education Excellence Honor Roll School!  Thank you to our entire community for supporting the stellar education of our children.

INTERVENTION CLASSES AT MARIPOSA

In lieu of summer school, the Brea Olinda Unified School District allows us to provide intervention classes throughout the school year. Housing these classes at our children's home school, with teachers they know makes all of the difference. We are fortunate to have many teachers committed to reteaching state standards and foundational concepts to our at-risk students.

We would like to thank the following Mariposa teachers who provided this helpful intervention to our students: Mrs. Bithell, Mrs. Chavez, Mrs. Maurer, Mrs.Yocum, Ms. Kuhnlein, Mrs. Thomas, and Mrs. Hathaway. You rock! And, we thank you for making time in your after school schedule to help our students.

Our research on the SISP Intervention program for the past three years has shown evidence that over half of the students who participate in this intervention test too high the following year to need it again. Those statistics excite us about the intervention program, and we are grateful to these skilled educators for helping our students progress.

Mariposa students enjoy weekly Music classes taught by Mrs. Phyllis Chiles. In Kindergarten and grade one, our children learn to read music and sing. In second through sixth grade, they go to the Music Lab for piano lessons in our state-of-the-art Roland Corporation Music Lab. Research shows that learning to play music increases both reading and math proficiency. We are grateful to Roland Corporation for this partnership.

LET'S TRAVEL TO STUDY ISLAND

At Mariposa, we've had Study Island for English Language Arts in the areas of reading, writing and grammar for the past two years. This year, we are happy to be adding Study Island Science for our 4th and 5th grade students. Both of our programs are web-based and your child can access this supplemental technology from home as well. Let's get back to the Island!
