A Truckload of Books for Steele Students
First grade students in Mandy DeMott’s class at Steele Elementary had an exciting visit from a big truck courtesy of M.L. Chartier and Michigan Construction after winning the Michigan Construction Truckload of Books contest!
Students were able to climb inside the truck and check out all of the features, even the airhorn! The classroom also received a collection of new, construction-related books as well as special snacks, a construction squish toy and a story read by one of the truck operators.
Congratulations to Mrs. DeMott’s class and be sure to check out their snowy visit in the construction truck!

MASON, Mich. – Tara Becker-Utess, Mason High School Principal, was surprised by the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals, the Michigan Association of Student Councils and Honor Societies and her district during a staff meeting to announce she was selected as the award recipient for Michigan’s 2026 High School Assistant Principal of the Year.
The Mason Public Schools district spans more than 108,000 square miles, and nearly 50% of our students rely on bus transportation for their daily commutes to and from school. In addition, students are transported on our buses to field trips, sporting events, performances and other school events and activities.
This presents significant challenges in providing sufficient space for our transportation and maintenance staff and our fleet of over 20 buses.
If the 2025 bond is approved, we will have the opportunity to create safer working environments for our staff, increase their capacity, and improve our daily operations and overall efficiency. Hear what a new transportation facility could do for the district in this short video.
The bond proposal will appear on the November 4, 2025, ballot. If approved, it will generate an estimated $66 million for districtwide projects without raising the current tax rate for Mason homeowners.
As Mason Middle School continues to age, it presents growing challenges for both students and staff.

Planned projects include:
- Implementing additional safety and security measures
- Improving parking lots and traffic flow
- Replacing and renovating mechanical systems
- Updating classrooms with new furniture, technology, storage, and cabinetry
- Updating and renovating building finishes: tile and carpeting, windows, paint, etc.

The bond proposal will appear on the November 4, 2025, ballot. If approved, it will generate an estimated $66 million for districtwide projects without raising the current tax rate for Mason homeowners. Learn more about the proposed bond on the MPS Bond website and vote November 4!
