It is so hard to believe that April has now come and gone! This week was awesome as we finished up with our last Title I Family Night! See the photos below. This week there is a lot of information. Please try to read all of the information or keep up in a tab so you can reference back to it like I have to do! :) Teacher appreciation begins next week and we LOVE celebrating our teachers and all they do to help us grow! State testing also begins on Wednesday for 3rd-5th grade students. We know all of our sharks have worked so hard and we want to now show what we know, so it is GAME TIME! Have a wonderful week end and we will see you Monday!
Committed to Success,
Heather Touchberry

My First Library Book Fair for Kindergarten
We are honored to have a partnership with the Original Six Foundation that has a program called, My First Library. This is a book fair for kindergarteners to receive 10 free books for their home library! This organization truly believes in the power of literacy! Our book fair will be May 2. If you have a student currently in kindergarten at MAST, these books will come home and are yours to keep!
