Our tardies keep decreasing! Thank you for ensuring your students arrive on time! December saw a significant increase in absences at Mason Creek, with a record 578 for the month, largely due to illness. We hope everyone stays healthy in January so we can reduce that number!

It's been a great week in Program Challenge with Mrs. Landers! Third grade just wrapped up Cinderella versions from around the world! Their culminating activity allowed them to create their own magic wands! In first grade, they had a fun Friday trying to build a trap to catch their Elf on the Shelf! (Let's hope they don't succeed so those elves can report back to Santa how good they were while they were working!) Both activities showed many amazing minds at work!
