This afternoon, Mercer County Public Schools’ former student and teacher JASON Argonauts came together with our newest Argonauts to share stories, advice, and excitement about the upcoming expedition to Houston. Mr. Toman reflected on his long history with the JASON Learning program and the many lives it has impacted through the years. It was especially meaningful to see two former Argonauts, now in college, return to support and encourage the next generation as they begin their own journey. A big thank you to MCTEC's Prostart students for the delicious food. @jasonlearning
