Rock on, readers!🪨✨
Thanks to our amazing PTO, our students had an incredible visit from author Jay Miletsky! He shared his heartwarming story, “Ricky, the Rock That Couldn’t Roll” about a flat rock who can’t roll like his friends. With teamwork from his friends and a wise ladybug, Ricky learns how to join in the fun and shows that no one gets left behind. The story highlights the power of friendship, inclusion, and perseverance. Each student even received their very own signed copy of the book! This was such an inspiring and memorable experience for our young readers and writers. 🎸📘
In 2012, a tradition was started that is loved by students to this day. It’s called Cafe’ for a Day! It’s sweet treats and delicious snacks sold by the National Honor Society at our school store in the beautiful front hall of GFBHS. Pictured here are two members of NHS: Co President Jack Reilly and member Phineas Landgraff. Stop by one week a month for a goodie 🍪
Get some rest tonight, students - the PSAT is tomorrow! Good luck to everyone taking it! #TuxedoStrong #TUFSD 🌪️❤️

There will be no after-school activities, Healthy Kids, or sports except for varsity teams.
🍎🍏 Our Kindergarteners had a sweet day at Pennings Orchard! They picked so many delicious apples straight from the trees, explored the corn maze, and loved visiting all the friendly farm animals. There were smiles, laughter, and lots of fall fun all around! A big thank you to Mrs. Sayles and Mrs. Hekl for making this special trip possible, and to our amazing chaperones for joining in on the adventure! 🌽🐮❤️

Students Celebrate 17th Annual Peace Day with Pinwheels for Peace
🌍🕊️Today, students at George Grant Mason Elementary in Tuxedo joined millions around the world in celebrating Peace Day as part of the global Pinwheels for Peace movement.
What began in 2005 with just a few teachers and students in Florida has blossomed into an international tradition, with pinwheels planted across the globe to mark the International Day of Peace, observed annually on or around September 21st. Due to weather conditions, our celebration was postponed until today.
Established by the United Nations in 1981, Peace Day serves as a worldwide call to action—encouraging people of all ages to commit to peace, bridge differences, and build a culture of understanding within their communities.
Students created pinwheels to offer a powerful message of hope. As they spin in the wind, they symbolize peace, kindness, and unity.
We are so proud of our students for using their creativity and voices to promote peace. They remind us that even the smallest actions can send ripples of change.
Thank you to our amazing Choral Director, Sam Johnson, who led the whole school in a song about peace; to Principal Park and Acting Superintendent Jared Kahmar for their support; and to our wonderful community of families who came out for the event. Also, a huge thank you to our Art Teacher, Michelle Foligno, for organizing this wonderful morning!
