Congratulations to Ms. Monica Salas who was selected as Rio Rico Rotary's Staff of the Month, and Jaylene Samaniego who was chosen as Student of the Month! We are so proud of their characters, willingness to help others, and love for Mountain View Elementary School!

Congratulations to our student artists that were recognized at yesterday's board meeting! 📸🎨 These students submitted art pieces to Liberty Utilities' first ever Smart Water Use Art Contest, and were selected to have their art be printed in a 12-month calendar. 🗓️We are so proud of all of our student participants who let their creativity shine and recognized the importance of water conservation. All together, they turned in 135 pieces to the contest! Parents, students, and community members can pick up a calendar at the front desk of the District Office while supplies last.
We are thankful to Liberty Utilities for providing our students with this opportunity and recognizing their incredible submissions and talent! 🧑🎨
