The cooler temperatures sure make it feel more like fall, at least for a few days, and Friday night football seems a little more real than with the heat of just days ago. We have also had some rain, although we will always be glad for the next good rain, but in combination with the lower temperatures it is likely that the landscapes will not need as much water in the coming weeks.
Mason ISD is off to a great start to the 2020-21 school year! Students are getting back into their normal routines and learning continues to be our focus.

Simple conservation techniques are some of the most effective yet least expensive solutions.

This past weekend was one of sadness for our community. On Saturday morning there was the funeral for Dewey Stockbridge, a fine young man who was set on a course of living out the very best that our education system and community tries to instill in our children, and who leaves behind a young family as well as parents, relatives, friends and many who knew him as a very fine example of Mason pride and character.
