North Aurelius Presents Aladdin Kids!
Congratulations to the cast and crew of the North Aurelius production of Disney’s Aladdin Kids! The students presented the musical to their fellow students at North Aurelius and took to the stage in the Mason High School Auditorium for a community performance last week. Check out more photos from the production and the video on Facebook.
The project, presented in conjunction with the Wharton Center for the Performing Arts, gave students and staff support and guidance as they rehearsed and perfected the show. Students also had the opportunity to perform with all other participating schools, including Alaiedon Elementary students, at the Wharton Center.
“This project is more than just a school play,” said Stage Manager and Music Director Laura Showers. “It’s a celebration of the arts, teamwork, and self-expression. Partnering with the Wharton Center has helped our students grow as performers and confident young people.”
North Aurelius students began rehearsing for the show in January, working closely with their teachers and teaching artists from the Wharton Center for Performing Arts. The Disney Musicals in Schools program helps public elementary schools build strong and lasting theater programs, while also giving students a chance to grow in confidence, creativity and collaboration.

Fellow Bulldogs,
In the fall of 2023, Mason Public Schools (MPS) passed a new five-year strategic plan. One of the four primary focuses of the plan is Facilities and Infrastructure improvements. The plan calls for the district to prepare for a bond initiative during the 2025 calendar year. The proposed School Improvement Bond, which will be presented to voters in November if approved by the Board of Education at the June 26 budget hearing, would request the Board NOT raise taxes from the 2025 assessment level.
Community members are invited to an Informational Meeting on Monday, May 12 at 6 pm at Mason City Hall to learn more about the recommended School Improvement Bond which will be presented to the Board of Education in June.
