Huge shoutout to our Mariposa families who joined us for our second Snack Time with Books night, hosted by Spread the Word NV Northern! Families shared a new book together, enjoyed delicious snacks, had a chance to win fun prizes, and went home with even more books to grow their home libraries. 📚✨@spreadthewordnvnorthern

Huge thank you to Bruka Theatre and the Pioneer Center Youth Program for an incredible performance today—your talent, energy, and passion truly brought everything to life and made it unforgettable! 🎭✨

We had a great visit from Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary today and even got to meet Banjo the bearded dragon—such a fun and engaging experience!

We had an awesome visit from Mike Carp, a local illustrator who shared his book with us and his journey to becoming an illustrator. We can't wait to have his book added to our school library.
