Hello Mason Lions, Family and Friends,
On behalf of the Mason Student Council I would like to welcome you back to school and invite you to get ready for a yearlong adventure with the Mason Student Council. For those of you new to Mason, the Student Council is a group of Mason’s most responsible 4th and 5th grade leaders who meet regularly to plan activities and community service events that benefit the entire school community.
During the week of October 5th, fourth and fifth grade students will be campaigning for officer positions on the Student Council. Look for their campaign posters hanging in the Multipurpose Room. They will be delivering their campaign speeches on Friday Oct. 9th and elections will be held later that same morning.
So, get ready for SPIRIT DAYS, FOOD DRIVES, CANDY-GRAMS, and much more with your 2009-’10 Mason Student Council! Mrs. Talner

The Birth of the Firebringer
By Meredith Ann Pierce
This story is about a young horse becoming more mature to become a warrior and help all of the horses get back their land from the evil wyverns. However, these aren’t just ordinary horses- they’re unicorns, and they know that once a firebringer is with them, they can get their rightful land back. When will the firebringer join the unicorns, and will he help or hurt the unicorns? Meanwhile, a young unicorn named Jan and his friends are going to a warrior initiation that will change Jan and the fate of the unicorns forever. If you like action and adventure, I suggest the firebringer trilogy’s first book: The Birth Of The Firebringer.

Aesop’s Fables
By Aesop
If you’re looking for a good book to read when you’re looking for something to do, and you only have a few minutes before dinner, Aesop’s Fables is just the thing for you. It has many of short stories. In each story, there is a small lesson that could be useful for both kids and adults. Some of the stories, or fables, might even seem funny to young kids. Also, there are many fables that can be found that were written by Aesop, so most likely, there will be a story for everyone. If you want fun, short stories for any time reading, you would do well with one of Aesop’s Fables.

Seekers: the Quest Begins
By Erin Hunter
How would you feel if you were separated from your parents as a toddler? In some cases, like what happened to the three bears Lusa, Toklo, and Kallik, people and animals are separated from family, and sometimes, those people (or animals) might survive the dangers that face them on the way to a new home. In the book Seekers: the Quest Begins, three bear cubs of three different species (polar bear, black bear, and grizzly bear) are separated from their homes and mothers for different reasons and they have to find their way to a new home alone. Luckily, Toklo, Kallik, and Lusa are each heading towards the same place. Will they find help and reach a new home safely, or do these bears still need their families to survive in the wild. If you want to know what happens to these abandoned cubs, read the book Seekers: the Quest Begins. |

Dear Mason Lions,
Thank you so much for supporting the Student Council by buying Candy-Grams. We hope you had fun both buying and receiving them.
The Student Council will be using some of the money we earned to buy recycling containers for Mason school. Look for these containers when you have a plastic bottle to throw away. Also, look for Spirit Day posters. They will be announcing the theme for the upcoming Mason Spirit Day.
Again, thanks for everything!
Your ASB President,

Have you ever thought about the secret wishes of your cat? Cats are very independent and some of them could even live without you. In the story Warriors: Into the Wild, a young cat begins his life away from humans with another group of cats; Thunderclan is Rusty’s new home. Being a wild cat may seem a lot of fun at first, but soon trouble finds its way into the forest where he lives. Early into his new life, Rusty learns that sometimes you have to fight to keep the forest in order. Still, he can’t think of a better life than that of being wild. Can Rusty save his home, or will he die trying? To find out, you should read the series that starts out with Warriors: Into the Wild. Book Review by Caitlyn Brookshire |
