News and Announcements
There is not school tomorrow November 11th due to Veterans Day. There IS school this upcoming Friday, November 18th. Hooray! MACSs second graders are running a lemonade stand after school next week. Parents are needed after school from 2:00 to 2:30 pm to help students sell lemonade. We will be using this activity to teach business and money skills, and all money raised will go towards holiday baskets. So far we have plenty of baked goods, and weve already raised a good amount of money. Thank you to those of you that have donated time to this project! Although I included paper goods, cups, and plastic ware on our parent sign up for the Thanksgiving Feast, it has come to my attention that a parent has already donated these items for the whole school! Therefore, we need food, food, and more food. Please sign up online at
