Nerf Wars
The non-school sponsored Nerf Gun wars are underway. "Nerf Wars" is a game where teens use Nerf guns to go around and “shoot” other teenagers who are not on their team. Students are prohibited from playing Nerf Wars on any MCS property or events.  A few years ago, a nerf wars game in the Forest Hills school district allegedly led to a student being shot with an actual gun. It is important to talk with your children about the dangers of this game - which can lead students to drive recklessly, run around neighborhoods and homes, and make unwise decisions. 

3 Ways to Report Absences
A reminder that there are three ways to inform our staff of an absence.  Saving the attendance number in your phone is a great option.

MMS PTO Grant In Action: Classroom Games for English Language Learners
Thanks to the continued support of our MMS families, the PTO recently funded a grant to provide engaging learning tools to support our English Language Learners. These materials help students build vocabulary, practice conversation skills, and strengthen language comprehension in a fun and interactive way.

Through this grant, students now have access to resources such as conversation cards, noun and action verb flashcards, educational posters, and interactive games like Guess in 10 and Spot It. These tools allow students to practice speaking, listening, and critical thinking while working together with classmates.

Hands-on activities like these make language learning more engaging and help students build confidence as they develop their communication skills.
We are grateful to our families and community for supporting MMS PTO through donations and fundraisers. Your generosity allows us to fund grants like this that directly benefit our staff and students.

Thank you for helping us create meaningful learning opportunities at Mason Middle School.
