Small but Mighty In an overwhelming display of generosity, the North Mason Scholarship Foundation and community organizations awarded over $500,000 to seniors from NMHS and James A. Taylor High School at the Award Ceremony held last night. Recipients were beaming with joy, their faces bright with pride and gratitude as they walked up to receive their awards. It was a myriad of emotions in the faces of families, friends, staff, and administration that had gathered to celebrate. In between the speeches and awards was loud clapping and cheering to congratulate the students, many of whom made the walk up to the podium multiple times. At the end of the evening, students gathered in front of the bulldog backdrop for a picture with family, friends, and donors. Another small step on their way to do mighty things.

🍰 North Mason Culinary Students Recognized by United Way 🥧 For the third year in a row, North Mason culinary students created decadent desserts for the United Way Spring Dessert & Gift Auction. Their creations for the May 10th event included Fruit Tart with Pastry Cream, Spring Blossom Cookies, Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars, and Lemon Blueberry mini bundt cakes. In addition to baking, students help with set up and take down of the event. At last week's United Way meeting, students and teachers, Rob Thomas and Heather Brase, were presented with a plaque to recognize their dedication to making the event a success. Rob Thomas is proud of his students, "giving back to the community that they live in," and, hopes that, "in the future, we can provide the lunch that goes along with the event to showcase more of our students' abilities." Congratulations on receiving this recognition from the United Way!

👨‍🚒👮‍♀️What do you want to be when you grow up?👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Students at NMHS had a great opportunity to speak directly with employers yesterday at the annual career fair. Interacting at the booths to learn more about potential careers, they asked questions and practiced "active listening," then moved on to mock interviews to prepare them for life after high school. One representative from Olympic College commented, "Super impressive. The kids are really engaged." Well done, Bulldogs! Thank you to all the companies who participated in this event, and a special thank you to the North Mason Chamber for organizing this opportunity for our students to explore future career paths.
