SGA President Will Desmarais dressed up as Johnny Appleseed for the Pre-K students! He read them a story and passed out apples! Macon East’s kindergarten classes always love celebrating Johnny Appleseed, and the teachers always know how to make learning fun.
Moms with Shields is a group of moms who meet for a monthly prayer walk at Macon East Academy. Together they provide spiritual support and bless the students, teachers, staff and campus at Macon East Academy. They placed Prayer Boxes in the lower and upper school halls for the students and staff to place their anonymous pray requests. This is such a blessing and will bring transformation, togetherness and love to the MEA family.
The Student Government Association at Macon East partnered with Dixie Electric Cooperative for their annual canned food drive during WSFA’s 12 days of giving. Will Desmarais, President of the SGA, said this year they wanted to do something special with everything going on and thought this was the best way to help our community. Macon East collected 1,870 canned goods and hopes this will help make the holidays a little brighter for less fortunate families. They held a competition for the class that collected the most cans; the winner of the lower school was the 2nd grade, and the upper school winner was the 12th grade. All donations benefit the Montgomery Area Food Bank (MAFB), which provides assistance in 35 Alabama counties in the fight against hunger.
