Join the Conversation That Matters.

Our amazing PTA is hosting a book talk on The Amazing Generation—a powerful graphic novel that dives into the impact of smartphones and social media on our kids, while also highlighting the incredible power this generation has to rewrite the narrative and take control of their lives.

Though written with students in mind, this book carries important, eye-opening messages for all of us.

May 6th
6:00 PM
HW Mountz Library

This event is open to students in grades 4 and up, parents, and community members—we truly hope to see a full room for what promises to be a meaningful discussion.

Please help us spread the word—this is a conversation worth having.

We loved welcoming Jenkinson’s Aquarium to our school today!

Our kindergarteners were all smiles during this fun and interactive visit—but the real stars of the show? Penguins in our building! 🐧

Lots of wonder, laughter, and wide-eyed excitement… a day we won’t forget anytime soon! 🌊😊

Second grade is rolling into learning in the best way! 🛠️📚
Our students teamed up to design and build covered wagons in the woodshop, bringing their reading curriculum to life through collaboration and creativity. We love seeing them safely using real tools—saws, vises, and all—while taking hands-on learning to the next level! 🤍

Sunshine, smiles, and lots of hands-on learning made this Friday a great one at Mountz! ☀️ Students were busy exploring, creating, and discovering—including our 8th-grade Annual Egg Drop, where students took part in an engineering design challenge applying concepts of forces and motion to design devices that could protect their egg from impact. 🥚🚀

With the sun shining and spring just around the corner, it was the perfect day for active learning. 🌷

Don’t forget—our Open House is tomorrow from 9–11 AM! Come see what makes Mountz such a special place to learn and grow. 💙

Pre-K at Mountz is pure magic lately! Our little learners have been busy designing clever leprechaun raps and exploring the world of dinosaurs by creating their own imprint fossils! Curiosity, creativity, and a whole lot of fun happening every day in PreK!

Come check it out at our Open House tomorrow, Saturday 3/14 from 9-11! We'd love to see you there.

✨ Innovation, teamwork, and creativity in action! ✨
Students were highly engaged during yesterday’s sending-district convocation, working in teams to design a prosthetic limb from the knee down that a teammate could wear and use to walk 20 feet. It was impressive to see their creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration as they tested ideas and refined their designs throughout the challenge. Thanks to Avon Elementary for hosting!

✨ H.W. Mountz teachers in action!✨
Our awesome staff spent Monday afternoon learning with Kate Sullivan, diving into Opportunities to Respond (OTRs) and other high-impact teaching strategies that keep every student thinking, talking, and actively participating.

These strategies mean more voices heard, more brains engaged, and more moments where students are truly part of the learning. We’re so excited to see these ideas come alive in classrooms and help create powerful, memorable learning experiences for our kids!
