Dear Mason Families,
Dear Mason Families,
Happy Sunday! I am so impressed with all the wonderful things our students are learning and doing for our community during this time of uncertainty. All your hard work and dedication to excellence is not going unnoticed. This is our last week of learning before Spring Break and this is also our last week of March. Let's finish strong.... Are you ready for a whole school challenge? Our challenge, as an entire school, is for every student (and adult) to read 100 pages this week! Let us know when you have completed the challenge by putting up a sign on the front door or window of your home that says #MasonReads! You can also let us know on our Mason PTO Facebook page or school Twitter account when you have completed the challenge!
Thanks for all you do and Thanks for accepting the challenge!

GPPSS Playgrounds closed for safety- All of the city and GPPSS playgrounds are closed. The coronavirus can live on the equipment for days. Our buildings and grounds staff are staying safe, staying home so they cannot sanitize between families. Please keep your family safe.
Mason Family Check In- It is so important for us to make sure we are meeting the needs of our community during the pandemic. Please consider clicking the link below and taking the Mason Family Check In survey. We would love to know if there is anything we can do to help the community. Many Hands, One Mason!
Caring for Kids Podcast: On March 25th, GPPSS was featured on The Children's Foundation's monthly radio show #CaringForKids! Listen to the interview now at: http://wjr.com/kids. Thank you to Robert Bury, President of the GPFPE, and Keith Howell, GPPSS Director of Pre-K-Elementary Instruction, for sharing our story. Mr. Howell stressed how important soft skills are to "support and build resiliency in kids."
Food Distribution Changes: Breakfast and Lunch is only being offered at Poupard on Tuesdays from 10 am -1 pm starting March 30th.
As a reminder, food service is being reduced to a weekly pick-up on Tuesdays from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at Poupard Elementary School, 20655 Lennon. This is being done to minimize exposure for all concerned yet still keep our students fed. Please bring a box, bag or wagon to take home a week's supply of breakfast and lunch.

My Favorite Book - Student Hightlight
"My favorite book is Dog Man Fetch 22. I like this book because it's all about having fun and they talk about doing good and all that other stuff. Plus I love Dog Man. Plus the way Fetch 22 was the funniest."
