Macon East Academyโs PTO hosted our annual Fun Run on February 2nd. The students and teachers look forward to this fun event. Our students and teachers love the interaction from the Booster Fun Run Crew. The Booster Crew visited with the students everyday of the week leading up to the Fun Run for fun challenges and learning important character values. Because of their success in reaching their goals, the students got to mummify a Booster Crew member, silly string a Booster Crew member, and the 4th through 6th grades got to have a color run! The teachers also did incentives with their classes including movie days and ice cream days. Because of the great success of this fundraiser, we will be able to purchase many updates needed for the school. Thank you to all our Sponsors, Parents, Grandparents, and many volunteers that helped this be a big success!
Ethan Jones was honored as one of this yearโs recipients of the Good Citizen Award presented by a local Anne Phillips chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Ethan was only one of eight ย to be honored from all of the Montgomery area surrounding schools. ย The DAR Good Citizens Award and Scholarship Contest, created in 1934, is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. This award recognizes and rewards individuals who possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism in their homes, schools, and communities. These students are selected by the local DAR because they demonstrate these qualities to an outstanding degree. ย We congratulate Ethan on his selection as the Macon East Academy representative.
