🤠 Get ready, Mathews Family, for a true Austin-style celebration at Octoberama: ArMazilla World Headquarters on Saturday, October 26! 

 

Inspired by the legendary spirit of Armadillo World Headquarters, this year’s Fall Fundraising Festival brings together the best of what makes our city—and our school—so special. With live local music, tasty bites from favorite food trucks, games, a bounce house, and a photo booth, there’s something for everyone. Plus, don’t miss the silent auction, packed with unique finds! It’s a day of fun, food, and community you won’t want to miss—right here at Mathews!

Here's to Peace, Love, and Tie-Dye!
