A Message from MI Principal Eric Messer

The students completed the SECA survey this week and we will look at the data next week and make sure we are best serving our students.  This week in LIFT we focused on E (event)+R (response)= O (outcome).  We discussed if you want a positive outcome then sometimes you need to press pause and get your mind right before you respond.  We want responses that are above the line and sometimes we have to adjust and adapt to situations and conversations.  We have to remember that your “R” is someone else’s “E”, so let's make a positive difference.  By thinking this through, we will  build habits and skills.  The quote we are focusing on this week and next is, “Don't get upset with people or situations.  Both are powerless without your reaction.”  

The first rotation for 5th grade specials ends today. 5th grade students will start a new special on Monday.  6th grade specials are in a trimester schedule, so their first rotation goes until November 8th.

This spring, Mason Intermediate Drama Club will be producing the show, Seussical Kids!   In order to participate in the musical, students must first join Drama Club. Click here  to learn the details of being part of MI's Drama Club! A parent/guardian must register their child. Students are not able to register themselves.  This Registration link will open at 3:00pm on December 8th, 2024 for 5th/6th grade Drama Club.  There are 100 spots available.   A waiting list will be started after 100 registrants are reached, and those students will be contacted if an opening arises.

Lost and Found is growing quickly and will be cleaned out and donated on Friday, October 11th.  If your student is missing something, please have them check lost and found.  If your child’s name is on their lunch box or item of clothing, we will make sure it gets returned to them.  

Congratulations to Anahita Branesh, Jace Nutley, Giselle, Beverly, Libby Flint, Amelia Hotchkiss, Fola Aminu, Kosy Ezeilo, Isabelle Ford and Harvey Rapay for receiving the Outstanding Recess Character Award.  They are being recognized for his sportsmanship, fair play, integrity and willingness to help during recess.  They are making a positive difference for others at MI!

National Latinx & Hispanic Heritage Month is annually celebrated from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements for the United States.    Each morning on the announcements we recognize a person of hispanic or latinx heritage that has made a difference in the United States.

This week I will highlight Roberto Clemente.

Roberto Clemente was a Puerto Rican professional baseball right fielder who played 18 seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates.  At the end of September, Clemente had gotten his 3,000th hit in the final game of the season.  He was a hero in his native Puerto Rico, where he spent much of the off-season doing charity work. He was killed along with four others when the cargo plane in which he is traveling crashes off the coast of Puerto Rico. Clemente was on his way to deliver relief supplies to Nicaragua following a devastating earthquake there a week earlier.
