Polca party of 5 taking in Lauren Daigle concert this evening in Dayton. Proud dad moment, watching Audrey sing her heart out at her 1st concert! She was absolutely rocking w big sisters, until falling asleep...& staying asleep a little before the halfway point! #nonapnation

This week we read “Please Pass the Maple Syrup” and Ss asked to do a taste test: 100% pure maple vs. imitation syrup. And the winner is...imitation! Loved their curiosity and excitement to apply what they’ve READ to real life! #KindnessStartsWithMe #MasonMoments #MasonPLJourney

Twitter friends, I need your vote! I GET to play student selected music every morning in the hallway while they arrive at ME! Javaris Powell said I need a a DJ name. 👏The Ss had many great ideas- we are down to two. Help me decide! #voiceandchoicecanbemusictoo #MasonElementary

Today the at the hallway DJ station, we played a song in another language: Telugu. So many of our ME Ss, who usually do not, stopped in excitement because it was a song from home and sang along. #musicbringsustogether #fullheart #masonmoment #KindnessStartswithME Javaris Powell

The Polca girls have been troopers in embracing Remote Learning! 👏 to their amazing teachers, who've provided connection & fun opps to grow. Thank goodness these girls have their teacher-mom to balance principal-dad! Mom will have a remote learning hero pic coming soon!

👏Thankful for amazing teachers! Thoughtful & caring on a daily basis. During this time of social distancing, we appreciate them even more. The Michelle Kling Alissa Mahoney Two Car Tour stopped by this evening! Their visit made our day!

Team jersey day for elem grades. A couple of young Steeler fans excited to share their love for team. Also, overly excited to share non-love of the Bengals. Thx to a great friend who coached them up w a socially and emotionally appropriate response. “We can still be friends.”
