Donation of School Supplies from St. Mary's Orthodox Church

Dear Families,

  We are thrilled to share that the school year is off to a fantastic start! Our students have jumped back into the swing of things and are showing a readiness to learn and grow. 

  Our dedicated team of teachers are working diligently to build strong relationships with their students and establish routines to foster a safe and caring learning environment. They are always willing to share about your child's progress so we encourage you to reach out with any questions you might have.

   We wanted to notify families that we have several new office staff joining us this school year so we ask for your patience and grace as they learn more about the Mason Crest community and receive training on the systems and protocols we utilize to make our school run smoothly. Everyone's always learning at Mason Crest!

   Lastly, we want to thank our Parent Teacher Organization and St. Mary's Orthodox Church for providing school supplies for all our students. We are truly blessed to have such generous, caring community partners.

We are looking forward to another great year at Mason Crest!

Ms. Conroy, Mr. Aiello, and Ms. Shin
