Happy Last Day of School to My Mason Family!

What an amazing week this has been and what a wonderful school year to celebrate all of our incredible students! Our dynamic team of educators went above and beyond to make this week special, creatively celebrating our students' in many ways with field trips, classroom award ceremonies, parties, etc. to highlight our students' hard work, growth, and success with enthusiasm and excitement! Here are some highlights that made this week truly memorable:

• Kindergarten Visits: Our Kindergarten students had an exciting visit to the first-grade classrooms, preparing for their big transition next year. The joy and curiosity on their faces were heartwarming!
  

• Fourth Grade Promotion: We were overjoyed to celebrate our fourth-grade students with a heartfelt promotion ceremony this week. A special shout-out to Mr. and Mrs. Feikens for their incredible generosity in sponsoring a delicious breakfast for our fourth graders! Students enjoyed pancakes, eggs, and more, made right on our school blacktop by the Feikens, along with the support of our dedicated PTO members. We are extremely proud of our fourth-grade students and their achievements. Congratulations to them and all the families on their promotion to middle school. Seeing everyone at the promotion ceremony, celebrating as one big Mason family, was truly inspiring!

Our teachers and students have worked hard to build a gallery with over 5,000 pieces of student artwork, which is amazing!
