Macon East Academy celebrated Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September by honoring a Mother’s Day Out student. To raise awareness, the MEA PTO organized several initiatives, including selling bracelets and stickers, as well as hosting a Warrior Wednesday dress-down day where students wore spirit wear for a donation. On the last Wednesday of the month, the entire school, from K3 to 12th grade, participated by wearing yellow or gold—colors that symbolize childhood cancer.

The funds raised will be divided between the Allshouse family and donated to the social workers on the childhood cancer floor at Children’s Hospital, who provide essential gift cards for food and gas to families in need during treatment. Macon East Academy demonstrated remarkable support for this important cause, especially for our brave little knight, Emma Allshouse, who is courageously fighting her battle against cancer. We stand united in prayer and support for her.

Overall, donations exceeded $1,000, showcasing the community’s generosity and commitment to making a difference.
