MASON GAZETTE
November 10, 2017
DEAR MASON FAMILIES,
If you have a 5th grader who is interested in giving tours at the open house, feel free to bring them to Mason at 12:30 pm Sunday and we will make sure they are trained and ready to give tours when needed. This is also a wonderful time for our 5th graders who aren't scheduled to be giving tours to visit Parcells Middle School and see what middle school is all about!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Roy
