It is our hope that our schools can learn from each other and exchange ideas on school improvement. Student Government sponsored a Guess the Number of Jellybeans contest for the Easter season. A container was filled with regular and gourmet jellybeans, and students were encouraged to guess how many were inside without going over in their estimate. The winner was a sixth grade girl, Maggie Fenger, who came closest to the 1,115 actual total. The Mason Breakfast Optimists honor students at the middle and high school each year who exhibit exemplary optimistic behavior.
Teachers nominate students based on their optimistic outlook.
When more than three students at a grade level are nominated, their names are placed on a ballot and voted on by the staff. This year s eighth grade winners are Luke McLaughlin, Sheena Chadwell and Blake Kalchik. Seventh grade winners are Muhamed Rexhepi, Ashley Nardone, Sarah McEwan and Michael Wellman. Anna Bennett, Jordan Bryde and Jared Andrews are the winners for sixth grade. Each winner will receive a written letter from the Optimist Club acknowledging their award and inviting them to the May 10 ceremony.
