Dear MCBE Families,
Welcome to an exciting new school year at Dr. Manuel C. Barreiro Elementary School . . . Where We Dream Big and Reach for the Stars!
I hope your summer was filled with joy, rest, and special times with loved ones. As we prepare to launch into the 2025–2026 school year, the energy on campus is building, and we are ready to lift off into a year full of possibilities.
This year’s theme isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a mindset we’re embracing in every classroom, hallway, and playground. At MCBE, we believe every child is on a journey of discovery, and our job as educators is to help fuel their dreams, guide their flight, and cheer them on as they soar. Whether they’re learning to read, solving math problems, exploring science, or just making new friends, our students are charting their own course among the stars.
Our incredible teachers and staff have been working hard to create learning environments that spark curiosity, build confidence, and celebrate each child’s unique light. We want every student to feel like they belong here, like they are part of something special, because they are!
As we take off into this school year, we invite you to be our co-pilot because when school and home truly work together, there’s no limit to how high our students can fly.
Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We can’t wait to watch them launch into new adventures and reach new heights. Here’s to a year filled with growth, imagination, and plenty of star-worthy moments! Let’s dream big and reach for the stars, together!
With excitement and gratitude,
Deborah Leal,
Principal
