Pima ES Kicks Off 65th Anniversary Celebrations with Family Math Night Nov. 7

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Oct. 31, 2024) – For 65 years, Pima Elementary School, located at 8330 E. Osborn Rd., Scottsdale, has delivered top-notch educational opportunities to the families of its south Scottsdale neighborhood.  Since 1959, Pima has been a staple of the community, welcoming thousands of families and educating generations of their students.

Organizations of such longstanding, of course, develop traditions, and one of them is coming up next week: Pima’s annual Family Math Night.  To kick off its 65^thanniversary celebrations, Pima will open its doors next Thursday, Nov. 7 from 4:30 – 6 p.m. for an evening of fun, learning, and family and community engagement.  Non-Panther families are welcome, too!

At the aptly named Mad Science Mayhem event, you can meet Pima’s outstanding teaching staff, go on campus and classroom tours, engage in family-friendly math games and experience the school’s vibrant learning environment for yourself.  

“Pima prides itself on being committed to each student’s individual journey,” said Principal Christopher Hodo.  “We offer an elevated learning experience for all of our scholars and are dedicated to providing the foundation that will propel them forward to success in middle school, high school, college and beyond.”

Thanks to $19.5 million approved by Scottsdale Unified School District taxpayers in the 2016 bond program, the new Pima campus was built over 15 months, from December 2017 to February 2019, reopening its doors to learning in time for the 2018-19 school year.  Pre-kindergarten through fifth grade Panthers now enjoy modern, collaborative learning environments, state-of-the-art technology, and facilities and grounds that enhance the spaces where they thrive.
