Dear Mason Families,
Happy St. Patrick's Day!! March Madness is here, in so many more ways than just one. March is Reading Month, Women's History Month and Conferences. Everyone is busy in March and we all smell break right around the corner. Our message to our learners hasn't changed.... We will continue to ask them daily to Be Learners, Be Leaders and Be Kind. Mason is a wonderful community and we all understand that in months like March, we must practice having patience and empathy for ALL! Thanks for entrusting us with your children and practicing the language we use at school also at home! We are one team and our common goal is to help our learners be their Mason Best everyday!
Be safe this weekend,
Roy
