Dear Families,
Our Read-a-Thon is drawing to a close on Wednesday, March 19th. We have set a goal of raising $20,000 so we are able to fund school supplies for every child, field trips, teacher appreciation events, and Fun Run t-shirts. Please consider supporting our Parent Teacher Organization and Mason Crest so we can plan some amazing events this upcoming school year!
We hope your child has enjoyed reading and will keep reading even after the Read-a-Thon is completed.
Thank you for your continued support!
Ms. Bell, Mr. Aiello, and Ms. Shin
