​Hello MAS Families. We have had a wonderful week at MAS! On Wednesday our friends of the Kiwanis Club came by with lots of gifts for outdoor garden, classroom, gift cards, etc. They have adopted our little school for the next three years offering support with volunteering for breakfast program, funding events and learning materials, and so much more. We are truly excited for this great opportunity! Hard to believe we are moving into the second to last month of the school year.

Information items:

Parent Virtual Presentation- Child and Youth will be hosting our parents online on Wednesday, May 5^th at 6:30pm. The presentation will focus on anxiety and strategies to work with your child. Please complete the monkey survey below as an RSVP (no name required). I hope that many can make it! I will send out the zoom link on Tuesday.
