Mighty Mohave Monthly - November 2025

Hi, Mohave families:

We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

Mohave had a busy October, closing out the first quarter of school, holding the first dance of the year and hosting a fun and successful Math & Science Academy (MSA) Night, showcasing the exciting, enhanced offerings becoming available to students as part of Mohave's MSA.

Our next dine-out in on Wednesday, Nov. 12, at Barro's, making dinner easy that night! Barro's is generously donating 20 percent back to Mohave when you mention our fundraiser!

The October PTO meeting was on Oct. 20, in the Mohave library, and you can review the meeting minutes here. Mark your calendar for the next PTO meeting, Monday, Nov. 17, at 6 p.m. in the Mohave library. We'll start forming committees and planning for a busy second semester, as well as hear updates from Principal Ferrero.

Help Stock the PBIS Store!

The school year is going great and rewarding students with PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) prizes means we need to keep stocking the PBIS store. You can support these efforts by purchasing items from Ms. Ohler's Amazon Wish List, which ship directly to the school, along with any other new, unused items you feel would be rewarding for our students. Thanks for your support!

Barro's Dine-Out on Nov. 12

You have dinner covered on Nov. 12, when Barro's is generously donating 20 percent back to Mohave all day! Just mention Mohave at Barro's on Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the Pavilions location, and enjoy eating there or getting takeout to bring home!

Principal Appreciation Month

October was Principal Appreciation Month, and while we appreciate him year-round, we're proud to recognize our mighty Mohave Principal, Mr. Ferrero! He is dedicated to his students, staff and Mohave families, and it shows! Thank you for everything you do, Mr. Ferrero!
