Our large facility project continues to be on-time and on-budget. Today, we held a ribbon cutting for the newly refurbished MUS Auditorium!

Proud of an MUS student who raised over $20,000 for JDRF (buff.ly/2BCcCHy) & coordinated the 1st JDRF walk in Santa Barbara since 2014. She shared her story & is an advocate for herself and others. 32 MUS Staff Members showed up at the walk to help raise $ and awareness!
Mrs. Gonzalez and our third grade artists are working to complete the sea glass mural. Art installations around campus make for authentic publishing opportunities for these artists!
Ms. Simon gave away some of our home-grown Nature Lab produce at Friday Flag today and did a tasting for students with fresh-picked cucamelons. Kids enjoy eating what they grow!
It was a terrific Friday Flag today with beautiful singing, impressive instrumental music, inspirational messages from Mr. Ito and the UCSB Men's Basketball Team, and exciting news about our upcoming Carnival!
Super grateful to Dr. Salcido for visiting! The students, teachers, and animals were happy to see you!
Montecito Union School District— the Home of the Mustangs… and Flash (the sprinting tortoise!) and Nibbles (one of two talented swinging goats!). Thank you, Superintendent @anthonyranii for inviting me into your MUS community. The Mustangs are magnificent!!!
Today, our 6th graders celebrated their early human unit with Primitive Living Skills Day led by Wilderness Outdoor Leadership Foundation. It was a real bullseye!
Here, our laser cutter (thanks MUSF!) is cutting out 6th graders' "concentric art." They've been studying local artist Joshua Abarbanel, who takes sea coral as his main inspiration.
I'm feeling deeply grateful to MUS families! Just today, we had family members join us at Mustang Mileage Club, Diversity Club, and at Nature Lab for the Regenerative Landscaping Group. Thanks, MUS parents and family members...you make this school special for ALL our students!

Thank you to Ms. Simon and Mrs. Noe for catering an amazing Volunteer Appreciation Event at Nature Lab yesterday! We love our volunteers, as these delicious treats show.
The MUS Diversity Club put on the 1st Annual Culture Food Fair yesterday. The food was delicious, the students learned a lot about the diverse world in which we live, and the fellowship and fun was wonderful!
It's hard to believe that sixth graders made these works of art. Thank you for your teaching, Mrs. Gonzalez. Thank you for inspiring our students, Yago Partal! Click video for more, or see these works at the SB Fair and Expo. buff.ly/3n4TtZu
Our accessible path is complete at Nature Lab, thanks to our skilled Facilities Team! The one break in the path you see is because we are waiting for the delivery of a prefab bathroom there.
