Good afternoon!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a short week. I was visiting Dallas, TX, in search of innovative schools and districts. We visited three different districts and schools. It was a wonderful time, and I learned a lot! However, I am so glad to be back home, MAST! This week is a full five-day week, and we will be busy making up things we missed during the hurricane week. Let's work hard to make these next two weeks solid by being on time and being present at school before our next break at the beginning of November. Thank you for your continued positive partnership to ensure all of our sharks are successful!

We love our leadership!

Pink out was a success! Thank you to those that donated to a fantastic cause!

WE ARE GOOD!
