Macon East Academy’s PTO hosted our annual Fun Run in February surrounded by much excitement from our students. Our students and teachers love the interaction from the Booster Fun Run Crew that visits with them daily for fun challenges and learning important characteristic values. Money raised will be used for technology updates. Grades Preschool through 6th grade rocked their Glow Run at the end of the event. Because of their success in reaching their goals, the students got to pie a Booster Crew member, slime a teacher, an ice cream truck visit, have a color celebration (4th-6th grades), plus many other fun incentives their teachers did with them. Our 2nd grade class was the top pledging class and their teacher, Ms. Loomis, received $100 to use for her classroom. Thank you to all our Sponsors, Parents, Grandparents, and many volunteers that helped this be a big success.

Pre-K and K5 students celebrated the 100th day of school recently. K5 enjoyed making 100’s Day necklaces, having a candy hunt for 100 pieces of candy in the library, playing “Race to 100” partner games in the classroom, and having a special 100’s Day snack. All students had a great time celebrating being 100 days smarter!  We love our little Knights, they are so precious! We love our teachers too – way to go Ms. Lawrence, Ms. Taylor, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Bruce and Ms. Mills!

First grade teacher, 𝗠𝗿𝘀. 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗵 has partnered with Mrs. Mary Hughes, from the Montgomery Humane Society, and her therapy dog, Larry. Together they have been teaching the students about pet responsibilities, dog safety, and are practicing their reading skills as well. Students get to meet and read each week with Larry one-on-one. As they are reading their library books to Larry, he helps calm any anxiety that they may be feeling with reading because he is such a good listener. Mrs. Smith says “This is a great opportunity that helps our first graders become stronger readers as they build up their confidence! We look forward to our time with Mrs. Mary and Larry every week!”

Ashley Davis, Caden Luis, Kwesi Jernigan, Sophie Clark, Christian McGalliard, and Maggie Whatley recently represented Macon East Academy at AISA District Science Fair.  Christian McGalliard won 3rd place in Biological Science at the District Science Fair with his project titled “5 Second Rule – Truth or Myth”.  We are so proud of our lower school Knights, their teachers and their intriguing minds.
