It was an awesome week at MAST! Thank you to ALL of our parent volunteers and PTO that made it happen today!! We could not do it without you! Our sharks had a blast at their Field Day Celebration and they were so grateful for the fun time outside! Next week we have our 4th/5th grade over night field trip to Space Camp! There are also awards day ceremonies for our K-2 students. We love to work hard and play hard! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and we will see you for our last full week, next week!
Committed to Success,
Heather Touchberry
