💙 Honoring Our North Mason School District Retirees 💙
Today, we celebrate an extraordinary group of individuals whose dedication, compassion, and commitment have shaped the heart of North Mason School District. Each of our retirees leaves behind a legacy of service that will be felt for generations to come.
Through countless hours, quiet acts of kindness, and unwavering support for students and colleagues alike, you have made a lasting difference in our schools and our community. Because of you, students felt seen, encouraged, and inspired; staff felt supported; and families found a place that truly cares.
While we will miss seeing you in the halls and classrooms, we are excited for the next chapter of your journey. May it be filled with well-earned rest, new adventures, and time to enjoy all the things that bring you joy.
From all of us at North Mason School District, thank you for your years of service, your dedication to education, and the lasting impact you’ve made. You will always be part of the NMSD family.
🌟 Congratulations and best wishes in retirement! 🌟

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible volunteers from Windermere Peninsula Properties who generously gave their time and energy to help beautify our campus 🌿🏫💙
Each year, Windermere Real Estate sets aside the first Friday in June for their annual Day of Service—closing both their Allyn and Belfair offices so brokers and staff can give back to the communities they serve 🤝✨ We were so fortunate to be one of the recipients of their kindness and hard work this year!
Despite the weather not cooperating 🌧️, these dedicated volunteers showed true resilience and spirit. They were caught in a downpour that temporarily paused their efforts, yet through it all, they kept smiles on their faces 😊 As soon as they could, they were right back outside—working even in the rain—to make a difference for our students and staff 💪🌧️
Your commitment, teamwork, and willingness to serve—even in less-than-ideal conditions—did not go unnoticed 🙌 Because of you, our campus is a more beautiful and welcoming place 🌸🌼
Thank you to each and every one of you for your generosity, enthusiasm, and community spirit. We are truly grateful! 💖👏

North Mason HS Career and College Program and the North Mason Chamber of Commerce partnered together to coordinate the first ALL SCHOOL Career & College EXPO for NMHS and JTHS. There were 37 tables in the gym filled with community partners from various careers and colleges. In the Commons, there was a presentation on grade level specific financial aid information and post high school planning. In the auditorium, Amber Trail (Our Community Credit Union) and Leah Pokraka (Peninsula Credit Union) presented interview tips, digital foot printing, and personal branding.
The NMHS Career Center looks forward to empowering our students to dream big and connect to viable career pathways. One highlight from the event was our students from the NMHS EMT program recording vitals for students and staff.
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO our custodial staff and student leaders who helped set up and tear down the event!
