📣 Be on the lookout—these are coming home next week! 🐺❄️
We’re excited to share our Winter Break BINGO Board with all of our Wolf Cubs! It’s packed with fun activities and winter reading to keep their minds active and ready for learning when we return in January. While it is completely optional, we hope you'll participate!
✨ Incentives!
✔️ Students who complete at least 20 squares will earn a special treat when we return.
✔️ If one of those squares is the Beanstack square, they’ll also receive their December brag tag and a Nothin’ Bundt Cake certificate!
📸 If you snap any pictures of your Cubs completing activities and are okay with us sharing them on social media, please email them to us!
Thank you for your continued support at home! 💙

We’re sure you’ve seen all the “Year in Review” posts popping up—but we are especially excited about our Year of Reading in Review! 📚✨
Our students have done an outstanding job this year, and we couldn’t be more proud. Let’s keep the momentum going as we finish 2025 strong and head into 2026 on a great note!
Did you know?
📖 Just 20 minutes of reading each day exposes a student to 1.8 million words in a school year and greatly increases the likelihood of scoring in the 90th percentile on standardized tests.
And don’t forget—if your student logs their 20 minutes in Beanstack each day, they’ll easily read their 400 minutes per month to earn both the brag tag and a Nothing Bundt Cake gift certificate each month! 🎉
Keep reading, Wolf Cubs! 💙📘

Our Alpha Pack STEM Club had a fantastic meeting yesterday afternoon! Students learned how to program robots and then put their coding skills to the test by inputting data that allowed their robots to race in teams. A huge thank-you to Dr. Knowles and Mrs. Farray for leading the Pack and inspiring our young engineers! 🚀🤖

Mason Creek has done it! Our CCRPI score is simply outstanding!
We made gains in every area! Our hard work, perseverance, and dedication to our Wolf Cubs truly paid off. With high expectations for everyone, a no-excuses mindset, and strong collaboration across our staff, we stayed focused on quality instruction, meeting our Wolf Cubs’ needs, and preparing them for the next level. Because of that commitment, everything else fell right into place.
And this year, we are just as focused, just as determined, and ready to keep that momentum going!

🌟 Thank You for Your Kindness! 🌟
Our Coins for Kindness drive was a huge success thanks to you! Because of your generosity, we raised $1,285.14, which was rounded up to $1,290. This means each family we were raising money for affected by the storms in Jamaica and the Philippines will receive $430 to help replace clothing and other essential items lost in the storms.
Your support will make a meaningful difference, and we are truly grateful for every single donation. 💛
A special congratulations to Mrs. Farray’s class, our top contributors! Even after having $54 deducted from dollar bills placed in their bucket, they still raised over $116 and won a pizza party in December! 🍕👏
Thank you to all of our amazing students for showing such incredible kindness and community spirit. We appreciate you! 🌈

Today we held our school spelling bee, and it was an exciting battle of sharp spellers and strong vocabulary skills! In the end, Liam came out on top, and Skylarr earned the title of runner-up! 🎉
Liam will go on to represent our school at the county bee in January. We are so proud of all our participants—spelling isn’t easy, and each of these students earned their spot by being the best in their class. Great job to all! 🐝✨
A special thank you to our judges - Mrs. Cox, Ms. Roberson, and Ms. Hale and our word caller - Mrs. Martin for giving their morning to support the Spelling Bee and these students!

Our 5th graders had an amazing time today putting their STEM skills to work during their field trip to Topgolf! They explored angles, force, trajectory, and measurement as they aimed for targets, adjusted their swings, and analyzed how power and direction impact distance. It was the perfect mix of hands-on learning, teamwork, and fun! ⛳✨

We’ll announce the winning class on Friday, and they’ll celebrate with a pizza party in December!
All money raised will support families in Jamaica and the Philippines who were impacted by recent storms. Thank you for helping us spread kindness! 🌎💙

Did you know we celebrated the 67th day of school this week?
To mark the occasion, our teachers went undercover in their best “6–7” attire, they played 6-7 tag in P.E., and our students are officially 67 days smarter!
We’re already inching toward the halfway point of the school year… bruh, how did that happen?! 🎉📚

Our 1st grade classes had a wonderful time on their field trip today! They visited Ole McDermitt's Farm and enjoyed a full day of fall fun. Students fed animals, mined for gems, picked pumpkins, explored the corn maze, jumped on the giant trampoline, rode on a hayride, and—of course—loved the big slides! It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and great memories.
