"I think you have a greater chance to lose your team when you're transactional as a leader. Which is the way I was until 1998. In other words, everything was about winning or losing... Negative experiences without teaching kills morale..." - Nick Saban
Great sendoff for @MasonHSBaseball as they head to Akron to compete in the @OHSAASports State Baseball semi-final. Proud of these young men and how they come together to compete just like their community #45040 ⚾
Let's go make history fellas!

It’s been an AMAZING year! We are so thankful for Mason City Schools and all those who have been a part of the girls’ stories this year! We now have a 4th grader, a freshman, and a junior!☄️💚💚💚#masonmoment@robpolca
Yesterday was our 2nd to last day of the school year, but it was packed full of peak moments, including a Cool Critters visit for our 3rd grade learners & a visit from author, educator, & gold medal winning Olympian, Mary Wineberg for all of our 3rd & 4th grade Comets!
4th graders have been working tirelessly to save Ohio! Through experiences with community members, research, studying budgeting and entrepreneurship, and sharpening their presentation skills, they came up with innovations to save Ohio! #4thgradesavesohio#MasonElementary
Our 4th graders were thrilled to sell their goods and services in this morning’s multi-class economy day!

We had a blast at our final Superhero play date at Cottell Park! We are soaking up all of these moments at the end of the year as we make precious memories!💚 #KindnessStartsWithME
Our Fourth graders were excited about today’s black light reveal #MasonMoment today for their paintings with Ms. Moschell in art! The special paint they used to make their ideas come to life really popped 🤩

We finished up another wonderful year with our B.R.A.V.E. Ambassadors today- these leaders left their mark on M.E. by creating kindness rocks to inspire others! These Ambassadors ROCK! #KindnessStartsWithME
🍃Our Ohio researchers are diving deep into their chosen organisms to safeguard the state’s ecosystem! From field trips to class visitors to hands-on experiments, they’re gaining real-world insights into species interconnections 🌺🦋#4thgradesavesohio#MasonElementary
Just had an enlightening visit from two wildlife officers from @OhioDivWildlife 🌳🦌. Fascinating to learn about the crucial role of government in safeguarding Ohio’s precious ecosystem! #MasonElementary#4thgradesavesohio
And that’s a wrap on the 23-24 specialized classroom monthly community outings! It is truly breathtaking to see how far these kids have come. Getting ‘real life’ practice is so valuable. Can’t wait for next year! #masonmoment#kindnessstartswithME@mason3_6pto@MasonSchools
