🌍 National School Lunch Week: October 13–17, 2025
Theme: Taste the World – Your School Lunch Passport
Get ready, students! National School Lunch Week is right around the corner — October 13th through 17th — and this year we’re taking your taste buds on an exciting trip around the world!
Each day, we’ll be “traveling” to a new country and exploring delicious school lunches inspired by international favorites:
🇮🇹 Italy – Pasta Primavera
🇬🇧 England – Baked Fish & Chips
🇲🇽 Mexico – Carne Asada Tacos
🇨🇳 China – Chicken Veggie Stir-Fry
Students will receive a Lunch Passport at the start of the week. Each time they try one of the featured international meals, they’ll get their passport stamped! After tasting all four meals, students can submit their completed passports and vote for their favorite dish.
All participants who complete their passports will be entered into a drawing to win a “Goodie Bag from Around the World” filled with fun surprises representing the countries we’ve visited!
This week is all about celebrating the diversity, creativity, and excitement that school meals bring to our students every day. We encourage everyone to participate, explore new flavors, and discover how food connects us across cultures.
Bon appétit! 🍝🌮🍟🥢

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We would like to inform you that Mr. Solis will no longer be serving as the shop teacher at Mora Independent Schools due to personal reasons. We are grateful for the time, effort, and dedication he has given to our students and district.
At this time, the district is actively seeking a qualified replacement to continue providing our students with a strong hands-on learning experience in shop class. In the interim, students will be working on a supplemental curriculum until a new teacher has been hired.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the quality of instruction for our students.
Thank you for your continued support.

Reminder that student drop-off time is 7:45 a.m. and dismissal is at 3:45 p.m. We have noticed an increasing number of students being dropped off and picked up during times when there is no staff supervision available on campus. This raises safety concerns as we want to ensure all students are in a secure and supervised environment at all times. Please help us keep students safe by adhering to designated drop-off and pick-up times. Thank you for your cooperation.
Cross-Country Practice has been cancelled for today, Thursday, September 4, 2025.
