Mac El Weekly News
Week of November 17, 2023
From the Principal
As we approach the holidays and break, our school is becoming busier. Despite the exciting events happening, there is still much to learn. Throughout November, we have been emphasizing the importance of gratitude and kindness towards one another. We encourage everyone to focus on being thankful and kind, and together, we can make a positive impact in our community.
We would like to wish our Mac El Drama Club the best of luck on their first performances on Monday. It is a great opportunity to enjoy a fun performance and support all the hard work they have put into the show. Please refer to the flyer below for performance times.
We hope you enjoy a few days off next week and have a happy Thanksgiving!
From the Assistant Principal
I hope everyone had a great week! It was a fun week as we had an awards party for students. Students turned in their awards for lunch with a friend which was exciting to see. Spending time with the kids and watching them laughing and enjoying themselves was so much fun. Moreover, congratulations to Boedi Claytor, Cooper Collins, Elise Sheets, and Eden Davis, for being chosen as the Brave of the Week. They will be called down to the office on Monday to be recognized and receive their reward.

Braves of the Week
2nd Grade: Boedi Claytor
Boedi is an awesome helper in our classroom. He often makes us laugh. Bodie has made amazing progress in Reading and standards mastery testing since fall break. We are so thankful that Boedi is part of our class family!
3rd Grade: Cooper Collins
I have loved having Cooper in my class this year. He is continuously kind to others. Cooper has the drive I wish to see in all of our students. He has grown so much this year. He is always putting forth 100% in everything he does. Cooper respects his classmates and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Cooper is a role model BRAVE, and I can’t wait to see where life takes him
4th Grade: Elise Sheets
Elise is such a polite, respectful, and sweet girl. She is a great listener during story time in the library, carefully looks for the perfect books for her, and reads them until the end of our time in the library. She has a warm and kind smile that brightens anyone’s day. Elise is such a joy to have in the library, and I am so proud of her.
5th Grade: Eden Davis
Eden always brings fun and laughter to our classroom. I have seen her make amazing strides in her math and reading. She wants to better herself in math by asking for help and never giving up when something is hard. She gets excited whenever it's time for math, and her enthusiasm is contagious. She doesn't rush through her work; she takes her time to recheck her answers and uses the strategies she learned in class to do her best on all her work! Eden even took a leadership role and helped her classmates when they were struggling. Congrats, and keep up the great work, Eden!
