Do you see any familiar clothes in this picture? Our lost and found is overflowing and has been for several months! We have had students look through it, but this is still what is unclaimed. If your child is missing something, please come by this week to claim it before the break!

It's the last day of January, so that means our February Beanstack Challenge kicks off tomorrow! Every February we pay tribute to generations of African Americans by celebrating Black History Month. Join us this February by logging 400 minutes and creating a portrait of a notable African American who helped shape our history. Bring your portrait to be placed on display in the Media Center during Black History Month. This month it's 400 minutes, because Nothing Bundt Cake is challenging our students to read 400 minutes this month, and every month moving forward, to receive a free bundlet at their Douglasville location! We hope all of our students win one!

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!
