Fruchthendler has been recognized as an 'A' school by the Arizona Department of Education for the 2023-2024 school year!

Maria G. Leon has been working in the district for nearly 8 years and has been a part of the Fruchthendler team for a while now. One of her favorite things about her job? Feeding the kids and working alongside an amazing staff. She loves knowing that she’s making a difference every day by helping and caring for the students.

Outside of work, Maria stays active, she enjoys working out, hiking, and traveling whenever she can. But above all, family comes first. She’s a proud mom of three and loves spending time with her kids. And when it comes to the Tucson heat? She embraces it—summer is her favorite season! Thank you, Maria, for keeping our kids healthy and happy.

Congratulations to Fruchthendler student Adelaide Cabrera, for winning the District Spelling Bee! She will go on to compete at the Pima County Bee at Canyon Del Oro High School on Saturday, February 15th at 10 am. Good luck, Adelaide!
