Barnes and Noble Book Fair
On May 29th, MaST held a book fair at Barnes and Noble. Parents, staff, and students were invited to listen to staff members read, to decorate cupcakes, and to purchase books from the summer reading list. MaST receives a portion of all purchases and will put the proceeds towards new books and resources for the Media Center. Great job to Susan Mosher, Susan Nolan, and Alice Mohr for organizing. Thank you to all of the parents, staff, and students who came out to the event!
