✨ Huge Thank-You to Our Amazing Mason County Schools Staff! ✨
Today’s festive meal was a beautiful reminder of what makes our school community so special. A massive thank-you to our incredible kitchen staff, who worked tirelessly to prepare a delicious Thanksgiving-themed meal for our students. Your hard work, heart, and creativity truly made the day unforgettable—right down to the fun hats and festive spirit! 🦃💛
We also want to recognize all of the staff members who jumped in to help—serving food, supporting students, and making sure everything ran smoothly. It takes a village, and today our village showed up in the best way.
Seeing our students smiling, laughing, and enjoying good food together is what it’s all about.
We wish all of our students a wonderful, safe, holiday break and will see you in December! 🧡

Last Week's Tip. Practice Gratitude.
Tip # 2.
Acknowledge your feelings.
Every feeling you experience is valid. You may experience opposite feelings like grief and joy and that's ok. You may find it helpful to write down your feelings in a journal or share them with someone you trust.
