Macon East Academy Celebrates Homecoming 2022

Macon East celebrated Homecoming the week of September 19 – 23.  Events included themed dress up days of America Monday, Tuesday Night Fever, Dress to Unimpress (Tacky Day), Dress Like the First Letter of Your Name, and Spirit Day.  The entire school really enjoyed dressing up and showing their school spirit. Other events during the week included a dodgeball tournament, boys volleyball tournament, and a homeroom door decorating contest.  The cheerleaders entertained everyone with a fantastic blacklight pep rally Thursday night. The annual upper school tailgate was a time of good food and lots of fun and fellowship.  The lower school students enjoyed tailgating as well with pizza, watermelon, and goodies.   As the school day ended, everyone gathered in the parking lot for the Homecoming Parade.  Each lower school class carried a sign down the parade route.  The wee princess, little damsel, and pee wee cheerleaders along with the pee wee football team rode on floats and trailers throwing goodie bags to the crowd.  Homecoming attendants threw goodies to the crowd as well from their decorated vehicles.  Homecoming Court attendants selected by their classmates were Bentley Graham (7th grade), Megan Hardy (8th grade), Lexi Hagood (9th grade), Alexis Davis & Mattie Pugh (10th grade), Pressley Graham, Lathan Johnson & Jaiden McDowell (11th grade), Mikalah Belser, Hannah Kate Hodges, Madison May, & Lulu Russell (12th grade).  At halftime of the football game, Miss Lulu Russell was crowned as the 2022 Homecoming Queen.  The Knights played an outstanding game, but Lee-Scott won the battle of the unbeatens 49-7. Gabe Spencer and Deonte Powell led the Knights offensively.  Defensively, Dalton Nickles, Zach Brown and Thaddeus McKinney racked up tackles.

Here We Grow! Macon East Knights Multi-Purpose Activity Center

We are excited to expand our campus for the future and offer our students one of the best and newest facilities in the area. Construction has been underway on the Macon East Knights Multi-Purpose Activity Center featuring 7500 square feet of amenities for the entire school.  With its initial open-space design, the multi-purpose activity center has an extraordinary opportunity to be the new AISA district host to the spelling bee and science fair, as well as many other school events.  It will also be home to an all-sport training facility with indoor, retractable batting cages for baseball and softball.  Finally, there will be new, expanded restroom facilities to service the football, baseball, and softball complex.

Headmaster Glynn Lott and the Board of Trustees have been planning this development for several years with the vision of adding academic instructional space as the school grows. The new building has the potential to house eight additional classrooms and will serve as an investment not only in the campus, but in the students and faculty that comprise it. Students in K3 – 12th grade will be able to enjoy the multi-purpose activity center beginning the second semester of this school year.

Headmaster Glynn Lott and the Board of Trustees would like to extend a special thank you to everyone involved in making this vision a reality.

Sara Cochran reached 1,000 career kills for the Lady Knights volleyball team last night!  Just a Junior, Sara is an incredible volleyball standout who has played varsity volleyball at Macon East since 7th grade.  “Sara is an incredible player, and we really rely on her to keep the team alive and thriving. She is a great player and a great teammate. She has done wonders for this program.” Coach Codi Berry.

Officials stopped the match Thursday night against Fort Dale to honor junior outside hitter Cochran after she hit her 1,000th career kill and presented her a volleyball signed by the team and coaches.  We are very proud of Sara’s accomplishment and look forward to a continued season of growth and anticipate Sara’s senior season will bring more record breaking at Macon East.

K5 Enjoys Camping Activities

The K5 class at Macon East Academy has been enjoying many exciting activities with their beginning of the year camping theme. They constructed camping scenes incorporating their names, read camping themed literature and created characters from the stories, made  smores using a solar oven, made campfire snacks using grapes, pretzels, and cheese curls, and learned camping themed songs and fingerplays. It was a great start to a fun-filled school year of learning at Macon East Academy.

BACK TO SCHOOL BASH!

Macon East Academy held its fourth annual Back to School Bash and Silent Auction on August 21, 2022. Hosted by the PTO, this event brings families from the school and community together for an afternoon of fun and fellowship for all ages. Kids enjoyed carnival games and prizes, inflatables, face painting, and more. This year the Pike Road Fire Department set up their truck and allowed kids to work the water hose (with help). A new addition this year was Laurel Hill Farms that brought various farm animals for the kids to pet, hold, and learn about. Our high school kids were a great help in running the games and we appreciate all our great volunteers. The day was topped off with a silent auction, featuring a wide variety of items up for the bidding. The Bash was a wonderful success thanks to a great turnout, generous local sponsors, and many hardworking volunteers. The PTO is already planning for even more fun for next year!

Macon East Butterfly Garden is a Popular Learning Classroom

Macon East K4 and K5 Classes have really enjoyed learning in the outdoor classroom.  Ms. Lawrence’s Kindergarten students enjoyed watching the caterpillars in the MEA butterfly garden in the various stages of metamorphosis. Each day following lunch, the students visit the garden to observe any changes. They observed numerous and varying sizes of caterpillars and a chrysalis. They are eagerly awaiting the emergence of a butterfly!  The students in Mrs. Mills’ K4 class recently enjoyed hiking around the school on a Scavenger Hunt! They also had fun looking for butterflies in the butterfly garden.
