Mumford Fundraiser: We are still collecting donations and sponsors for our school fundraiser “Building A Brighter Future”. This fundraiser is taking the place of our traditional cookie dough fundraiser. There are multiple different levels of sponsorship, with the lowest tier starting at only $25 dollars, and the highest at $1000! There is a level for everyone! In fact, if every family gave $25, our total amount would beat any of our amounts collected in fundraisers in the past! When you sign up to be a sponsor, you are directly investing and having an impact on our students. Information went home with students and is posted on our school Facebook page. All you have to do is contact Mrs. Kleiber at rrkleiber@mumford.k12.tx.us for more details. Each level of sponsorship has different levels of recognition. When giving $50 or more to our fundraiser, names of sponsors will be shared in the home bulletin. So, we would like to THANK the following donors:
● The Reynolds Family
● The Reese Family
● Andy & Emily Lopez Family
● First Financial Bank
● Burnside Infrastructure LLC.
● The Stroh Family
● The Kleiber Family
● Big Creek Marina & Campground
● Luke and Susan Scamardo
● Rock Ely – Ely Farms
● Hearne Steel
● Sealey Plumbing

Mumford Elementary - National Blue Ribbon School /Texas Lone Star Ribbon Schools: As we have previously announced Mumford Elementary would have been named a National Blue Ribbon School for the 3rd time this October, however with cuts made to the Department of Education in Washington DC, this national honor has ended. It has been transferred to a state program and Governor Abbot announced yesterday the state program will be called Lone Star Ribbon Schools. All the schools that were slated to receive Blue Ribbon Awards are on the inaugural list of schools for the honor. Please see the link for more information: https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-inaugural-lone-star-ribbon-schools. This is a great honor and Dr. Reese will be interviewed on KBTX this afternoon – so be sure to check it out! We are very proud of all the hard work our staff, students, parents and school board continue to put into Mumford School!
