Dear Mason Families,
I am very excited to announce, starting this Monday (10.16) we will be having a dedicated character time for all students right before lunch at 11:30 am. During this time, each student in their regular classroom, will be working on their overall character and finding ways to make a difference at Mason through interactive lessons, games and team building activities. At Mason, we value helping students find academic, social and emotional success; helping students to be well-rounded citizens is our goal. If you have any questions about our character efforts, please don't hesitate to contact the main office.
Have a wonderful weekend and Be Great!
Roy
