News and Events

Each year Macon East fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students participate in the Science Fair.  With entries in either the biological or physical category, each student is required to present a project complete with display board, research paper and experiment results.  The fair is judged by a panel of experts, and the top projects advance to the AISA District and State Science Fairs.  This year 5 MEA students were honored at District and advanced to the State fair – Sophie Clark, Jon David Spires, Reese Hasson, Ella Grace Hagans, and Wyatt Streetman. 5th grader, Ella Grace Hagens, won 2nd place for her project at the State fair, “Are Dogs Really Color Blind”, in the elementary physical science division.  Congratulations to all our wonderful students!

Macon East’s Mother’s Day Out students are counting down the days until Christmas and they have been busy with many Christmas activities. From reviewing our academic skills using Christmas themes to making ornaments and surprises for our families, the classroom has been buzzing. They have also learned that giving is just as important as receiving. The students collected can goods for the Dixie Electric Food Drive and donated toys for the Heart to Heart Foster Care Ministry. They took their first off-campus field trip to Choctafaula Farms where they participated in Christmas games, took a trail ride to see camels, goats, horses, cows, wildebeests, ostriches, and zebras, and topped off the day with a visit from Santa.
