This month, we’re all about gratitude and giving! We want to bring parents, students, and friends together to show some love for our amazing teachers and staff with kind notes and gestures. Our goal? To create a vibe of appreciation while helping us meet our goal of $5000 to directly support Matoska’s field trip programs to have 200 leaves on our giving tree (located outside the cafeteria) filled with expressions of gratitude from November 18th to November 28th.
The PTO also helps fund Enrichment Activities like children's theater, the art enrichment program, additional support for classrooms and staff, including IB Development, Media Literacy support, and staff appreciation.
By participating in "Gratitude and Giving," you’re helping us keep these fantastic experiences available for our students. Let’s work together to show our appreciation and make Matoska a warm and inspiring place for our kids. Every contribution matters, so thank you for being part of this meaningful month for our school community!
More information on Gratitude & Giving 2024 will be sent out later this week.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
Thank you to everyone that supported the MIPTO Bogeys After Dark and
Chipotle Fundraiser. Update!
Between the two events we raised $3,634. These fund will be used to continually support school events and initiatives through out the school year. This is incredible and appreciate the support. We couldn’t have done it without you..
IB INQUIRERS
There are some elements of an IB school that make us unique in White Bear Lake Area Schools. This graphic outlines what makes us special, and what’s important to our teaching and learning here at Matoska:
SPANISH DUAL IMMERSION PROGRAM
Spanish Dual Immersion kindergarten to be available starting with the 2025-26 school year. Additional information about this program can be found at isd624.org/immersion, here families can find information in a short video and a Q&A. They can also complete a form to make sure they receive the kindergarten enrollment mailing that will arrive in homes in December.
