Last month we wished Mr. Alvarenga a bitter-sweet farewell as he left our Tiger Family. We thank him for his years of service, and most importantly for the charismatic personality he had with our tiny Tigers. We wish him the best of luck on his next endevours and he will be truly missed.

The 2022-2023 War on Hunger Campaign is an effort to support our MUSD students and families who may be experiencing some food insecurities. All food donations collected at the schools will be distributed to families at our school. The donations received from District Office staff will be distributed to other families who may be experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. We thank you for efforts and generosity is greatly appreciated.

During the week of October 23 - 31st we recognized Red Ribbon Week. Throughout the week we had activities for students to participate and show their school spirit. Some of these activities included hunting for a Red Ribbon throughout the school, a coloring page contest for our students in grades K-2 and a bookmark contest for students in grades 3-5. Below are our winners.

Thank you to everyone that helped make our event a huge success. It was great to see the staff, students and community members come together to celebrate an amazing time of the year. Hopefully this is the first of many school events that we can share with everyone. Please click on the link below to see some pictures of the event. Thank you again everyone.

Joseph A. Gascón Elementary is honored to celebrate students who were nominated for either the PBIS Award or the Tiger PAW Award.

Students who received the PBIS award were nominated because they displayed excellent citizenship and followed our ROAR initiatives.

Students who were nominated for the Tiger PAW award demonstrated high academic achievements and are our Students of the Month. This does not happen without the support and guidance of excellent parents, teachers, and friends!

Thank you everyone!
