On Monday, 12/12, Running Brushy Middle School will be performing a concert for our school. This performance is scheduled for 10:45-11:15 which conflicts with some of our lunch times. Please note that on Monday, Kinder and 1st grade will be eating lunch at 10:00 to accommodate this conflict. 3rd Grade and 4th Grade lunches will be adjusted slightly as well. Both 3rd Grade and 4th Grade will go straight to lunch from the performance. The performance is expected to end around 11:15. Hot lunches will be served as opposed to a sack lunch.

Friday, 12/16 is a district scheduled early release day for all students. Elementary will dismiss at 11:30 and lunch will be served.

Food Program @ Mason

Mason has a food program for families! For interested families, weekend meal kits are sent home each Friday with students in bags the student can put in their backpacks. In addition, at-school snacks may also be provided. If you believe your student/family would benefit from the program, please fill out the form here. You can select weekend meal kits, snacks, or both. Please complete just one form for the family if you have multiple students at Mason, but please list all of their names on the form. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or concerns! Amanda.King@leanderisd.org
