The test results from the 2008-09 school year were just released and Mango Elementary School has much of which to be proud.  They were one of FUSD's "Great Eight" that scored over 800 on the API.  Principal Sara Najarro decided to take advantage of the DJ Party the school won as a result of last year's attendance competition (they tied with Oleander Elementary School) and use it to treat the students who scored 350 or above on the CST in math or language arts.  She even invited last year's 5th graders who have moved on to middle school to come back and join in the fun.

The students had a great time.  Although they mostly "hung out" in little groups on the sidelines, they would occasionally "bust a move" for just a moment or two.  DJ Goodtimes (Luis Mendoza and his son, Luis, Jr.) really got the action going when he invited the kids to join in a "Dance Off" competition to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."  The "Moonwalk" seems to be making a comeback in a big way - who knew?
