Many Hands, One Mason!
February 10, 2019
Dear Mason Families,
All though it may be chilly outside, things are really heating up at Mason. This week we will have our first ever Mix It Up Day for our 3rd-5th graders and we can't wait to see our students build new friendships! Stay tuned as we will be providing everyone with an update on how everything went in our next Mason Gazette! Thank you to all our volunteers for helping us make this activity an enormous success!
Thank you to everyone to attended our 2019 Winter Formal! Everyone had a wonderful time and it was awesome to see our parents and students having so much fun on the dance floor. I would be remiss if I didn't thank our small but mighty Mason PTO for all their efforts and for making sure the event was the best it could possibly be for everyone involved.
Thanks for Being a Leader, Being a Learner and Being Kind,
Roy Bishop, Jr.
Principal
