Due to the social distancing to help stop the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CoronaVirus, MASC is making alternative virtual plans for events in the immediate present.  Future events from MASC will be handled on a case by case basis.  At this point, MASC will not be participating in the Region 2 Conference (canceled)  and the National Conference as these are out-of-state and the majority of our Maryland school districts have restricted out-of-state travel.  

Thank you for your understanding as the health and warfare of our students and advisors is most important.

Amid growing concerns about the virus, we want to inform you that MASC is taking this very seriously.  We ask that if you are not feeling well, please stay home. We encourage participants in our events to bring personal hand sanitizer.  Just like with any health concern, practicing proper hygiene is essential. Remember to wash your hands often, cough or sneeze into your arm or tissues and discard immediately,  refrain from handshakes, and avoid touching your face.
