To celebrate Earth Day and spread Global Awareness, students enjoyed the "EcoHero Show".  Students got to sing, dance, and build their awareness of how they can help make our world a cleaner, better place!

Mission is extremely proud to recognize our Certificated & Classified Employees of the Year for 2026!

Certificated Employee of the Year: Mrs. Laura Foley  Mrs. Foley has been teaching for 13 years at Misson Elementary. Although she currently teaches 1st grade, Mrs. Foley has also previously taught 5th and 6th grades.
