As our Mora Rangers advance to the first round of the State Tournament and beyond, we couldn’t be more proud of their dedication and hard work!
With that excitement comes responsibility. We encourage all of our players, students, families, and fans to represent Mora with respect, integrity, and class — both at the game and online.
Let’s show New Mexico what Ranger pride truly looks like:
✔️ Positive
✔️ Respectful
✔️ United
Go Rangers! 🏀💚

As we move forward with our Mora Elementary popcorn fundraiser, I would like to clarify expectations regarding permission slips and apologize for any confusion.
All permission forms are due to the office by Thursday, February 26th at noon. Brochures will be distributed that afternoon, and students will have two weeks to sell.
Regardless of whether your child is:
Participating in online sales
Participating in brochure sales
Choosing not to participate
We must have a permission slip on file for every student. This ensures we can accurately account for each student and maintain complete records.
If your child is opting out of the fundraiser, please indicate this on the form. The office will document whether field trip fees have been paid.
All brochure money is due to the Mora Elementary Office by March 11th before orders can be placed. This includes any opt-out dues for students who plan on attending the field trip.
Having documentation for all students helps keep our records complete and organized.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of Mora Elementary students!
