Mason County Schools provided over 600 backpacks filled with non-perishable food and hygiene items to students across our county. Thank you to all of the volunteers that aided in the packing and distribution of the bags. We would like to thank local farmer, Dan Foglesong, for working with our program to provide more than 300 ears of corn and more than 300 cucumbers! Thanks "a bunch" to the fair for the bunches of bananas, the kids loved these!
Students- Don't forget to stop by your cafes this year for a free breakfast and a free lunch! See you in school and best wishes for a wonderful 2023-2024 school year.
