What is F.A.C.E.?
Matheny-Withrow needs your voice, energy and time! The F.A.C.E. team meets monthly to learn and set goals for the year to support student achievement. Our mission as a Family & Community Engagement (F.A.C.E.) team at Matheny-Withrow Elementary School is to promote and encourage communication between parents, teachers, administration and the community.
