Isaac Phillips, a beloved member of our Mascenic community, fought bravely against cancer for several years. Last night, he peacefully passed away surrounded by his loved ones. Though Isaac's battle was unimaginably hard, and his time on this earth was far too short, his illness did not win. It never touched his light, his sense of humor, his laughter, or the love he gave and received. In every interaction, he showed us what true strength looks like. Death may have taken the body, but it could never claim his spirit and in that, it had no victory.

In the days ahead, we recognize that this news may bring up a variety of emotions for those within our community. We are finalizing plans to provide support to both staff and students and will relay those plans as soon as possible. We will also share information on services, donations, or other ways to support the family as this information becomes available.

There are no perfect words for times like this. However, we will continue to honor Isaac's life in the way we support one another, remember him , and carry his spirit forward. Our hearts are with Isaac’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

We have a clothing donation box that benefits the Epilepsy Foundation and Boynton. The donation box is located behind the school, near the circle. As summer comes to an end and children outgrow their clothes, please consider donating to this box.

Today's 5th grade advisory classes were participating in activities around grit, responsibility, respect and relationships. I partnered with Will and Zion (we eat similar breakfasts) and they talked about how to "raise others up" when they are down to help create positive relationships. Other advisory classes were discussing non-examples of responsibility and building community through games. These traits pair well with the MRSD Vision of a Learner Competencies! Happy Friday!
