Mason Middle School

This year marked an exciting milestone for Mason’s Robotics Program, Tractor Nation, with the launch of Team 32118, Tractor in Technicians in Training made up of Mason Middle School students.

The new team began the year with a Unified Team-style format with general education peers providing support, but by season’s end, most students chose to compete independently alongside their teammates, showcasing tremendous growth in confidence and skill. Truly becoming a competitive team!

The preschool playground at the Harvey Education Center (HEC) has a new visitor- The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

Three teachers, Krystal Hodge, Jena Krumm and Stacey Somerville, wanted to jazz up the play area used by their students and create something functional as well as decorative at the same time.

Working with the Mason Middle School Unified Club advisor, a plan began to emerge to develop an outdoor area with a chalkboard surface for the students to write on during recess.

The state school aid budget, signed in October, included continued funding for free meals for all public school students. This means all Mason Public Schools students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch for the remainder of the school year with no changes or interruptions to meal service.

A reminder, while meals are free, students must purchase milk (when sold separately from a meal), any a la carte items and extra main entrees. Please check your student’s lunch account often to ensure adequate funds are available for these purchases. If you have questions about lunch options or adding money to your student’s account, contact the Food Services office 517.676.6529. A list of a la carte pricing is available on the Food Service website.
