Diability Awareness Workshop Sign up
In order for us to bring this workshop to your school, we rely on the help of parent volunteers. The full day workshop is split into a morning session and an afternoon session. You don’t need any special talents or training to volunteer – just a love for kids and a desire to promote empathy and understanding. If you’re able to help us with this, please fill out the form below and return it to your child’s teacher.
There is a volunteer training on Monday, February 27th at 7:00pm at Trombly Elementary. Please plan to attend this training, as we can’t train the morning of the workshop.
The Disability Awareness Workshop will be coming to MASON on Tuesday, March 21st.
Jump Rope for Heart
February is Heart Month and Mason will be hosting our annual “Jump Rope for Heart” fund raising event! During the week of Feb 14th – 17th all Mason students will be invited to jump rope, collect donations, and earn prizes for themselves as a part of the Jump Rope for Heart event.
If you choose to have your child collect donations, they should bring their donation envelope to school on the designated day of their event or earlier. Checks should be made payable to The American Heart Association. The attached envelope gives the thank you gifts incentive structure detailing prizes earned for donations collected.
Please see magnet sent home with your student for more details.
