Dear Mason Families,
Dear Mason Families,
Happy Sunday! This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and I couldn't be more proud of our Mason staff. They have catapulted themselves into being the best online educators possible. On a daily basis, teachers are teaching remotely, dealing with their own heartbreak of not being able to teach in their classroom and missing their students. They are also learning how to use new technology, consoling students and parents who are grieving during the pandemic, balancing their own social, emotional, physical and mental health needs and taking care of their own families. Mason teachers aren't just surviving, they are thriving during a pandemic.
So you see... When I say I am extremely proud of them, you now have a little glimpse of what I mean. They continue to show an extreme amount of vulnerability by teaching from their dining room table for the whole world to see while being ambassadors of hope for our learners and community. They are the heartbeat of our community and I am so proud of them! Thank you, Teachers! My hope is that this week they feel the love from our community!
With a Thankful Heart,
Roy Bishop, Jr.
Principal
