Dear Descanso Families,
As we approach the end of the school year, we reflect on a final week packed with fun, celebrations, and memorable moments.
Monday: Field Day and Kona Ice
We kicked off the week with our much-anticipated Field Day! Students participated in various games and activities, enjoying the beautiful weather. To top it off, everyone cooled down with refreshing Kona Ice treats. It was a day full of energy and excitement.
Wednesday: Celebrating Our Amazing Volunteers
Mid-week, we took time to honor our incredible volunteers. Your dedication and support are the backbone of our community, and we couldn’t do what we do without you. Thank you for all your hard work and commitment throughout the year.
Thursday: Staff vs. 6th Grade Kickball Game
Thursday brought some friendly competition with the annual Staff vs. 6th Grade Kickball Game. It was a thrilling match with the staff team securing a victory with a final score of 30 to 4. Both teams displayed great sportsmanship and enthusiasm.
Friday: Redhawk Assembly and Special Recognitions
Friday was packed with special events, starting with our final Redhawk Assembly. We recognized our amazing AR super readers with Associate, Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate degree certificates. Congratulations to all our dedicated readers!
We also welcomed back the Descanso alumni, Class of 2024, for a Senior Walk. Our current students cheered them on as they walked through the halls, and we listened to some inspiring words of wisdom from these graduating seniors.
To end the day on a sweet note, we had our AR Root Beer Float Celebration for everyone who achieved their Trimester 3 goals. It was a delicious way to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments.
Upcoming: Monday, June 10th
We have one more exciting day left! Monday, June 10th, is our 6th Grade Promotion. It’s also a minimum day, with dismissal at 1:15 p.m. We look forward to celebrating our 6th graders as they move on to the next chapter of their educational journey.
Thank you to everyone for an incredible year!

Honoring the Retirement of Peggy and Kelly: A Tribute to Their Legacy
Peggy's journey with MEUSD began in 1990 at Potrero Elementary, where she wore many hats as an Instructional Aide, Computer Lab Aide, and School Librarian. After eight years, she became the heart of Pine Valley Elementary, serving as the nurturing Secretary for fourteen memorable years. Descanso Elementary then had the privilege of welcoming Peggy, whose infectious laughter and warm presence have made every day brighter. Peggy is now looking forward to cherishing precious moments with her fourteen grandchildren, enjoying the company of dear friends, exploring new travel destinations, and tending to her beloved garden. Though we will miss her dearly, Peggy's legacy of love and joy will continue to echo through the halls of our schools.
Kelly's profound impact at Descanso Elementary began in 1990 as an Instructional Aide and Computer Tech Aide, with an unwavering dedication that has touched lives for 34 remarkable years. She has found immense joy in witnessing Kindergartners' journey from their first steps in learning to read and write to their growth over the years. Kelly's influence has shaped generations, and the joy in her heart reflects in the success of our students. As we approach a new school year, Kelly looks forward to embracing quality time with her family and embarking on new adventures with her husband. Her legacy of compassion, dedication, and unwavering commitment will forever be a part of our school community.
Please join us in honoring Peggy and Kelly, and in wishing them all the best in their well-deserved retirements. Their contributions have been invaluable, and their absence will be profoundly felt. Their spirits, however, will remain with us, inspiring future generations.
