Raptors, we’re just one week away from our PTO’s Winter Bash! Join us for a fun evening with music, food, and activity booths on Thursday, December 18th, from 4:30–6:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. Be sure to get your tickets—let’s celebrate!

A huge thank-you from Dr. Torres Elementary to everyone who donated canned goods for our 2025 Canned Food Drive! Your generosity truly made a difference for families in our community. Congratulations to our top two donating classes—Ms. Centeno’s 2nd grade class and Mr. Agurrie’s 1st grade class! We’re so proud of your kindness and teamwork.
