We would like to give a big “Thank You” for all the help we got from parents with sorting supplies this past Friday. But once again, we need YOUR help with the final phase of supply delivery to our awesome teachers.
Please join us at MCES Monday night 8/29 at 5:30pm as we haul the boxes of supplies right to each classroom’s front doors! We have dollies, just need the man power. The more people that show up, the faster we’ll be able to get this done. So please join us!
We are looking for volunteers to help sort the school supplies this Friday, 8/26/16 at 1:30pm. Kids are welcome to help too! Please email us at masoncrestpto@gmail.com.

ANNANDALE, Va. — On Nov. 14, the Mason Crest Elementary Parent / Teacher Organization and the Mason Crest Elementary School faculty and staff will host a fun run for the students of Mason Crest Elementary. The theme of the fun run is “Many Countries, One Community,” and each Mason Crest Elementary School class has selected a country to “run across” as part of emphasizing the diverse backgrounds and heritage that Mason Crest Elementary brings together.
This event will serve as the Mason Crest PTO’s major fundraiser for the year. In order to make it a success, the PTO is asking for volunteers to help us with various tasks before and during the event. If you can and are willing to help, please visit our volunteer signup page at masoncrestpto.org. For additional information about the fun run contact Kim Grutzik at kim.grutzik@masoncrestpto.org or Tim Sample at tim.sample@masoncrestpto.org.
ANNANDALE, Va. — Did you know that Mason Crest Elementary School can earn 10 cents for every box top under the Box Tops For Education program? If every Mason Crest student sent in just 50 box tops this school year, Mason Crest would earn more than $2,800.
Simply clip the special pink Box Tops For Education from your favorite products and turn them in to your child’s teacher on the collection sheet provided in the Tuesday folder or in plastic baggies.
Let’s work together to make those box tops add up.
The Mason Crest PTO Green Committee is ready to kick off the new year with a project that will expand Mason Crest Gardening efforts.
