Mac El Weekly News Week of September 8, 2023

From the Principal From the Principal

Exciting week!

What an exciting and fun-filled week it has been! It has been great to see both students and staff dressed up for Homecoming Week and to watch the Maconaquah Braves in the Homecoming Parade! The Maconaquah Braves will be playing against Whitko tonight at 7:00 p.m.! Moreover, we are thrilled to share that our book vending machine has finally arrived! We would like to thank the PTO for all the time and effort put into filling it with numerous books! The official ribbon-cutting ceremony was a grand success, and our Braves Monthly Winners and Braves of the Week were thrilled to put their tokens in and select a book. They were delighted! Lastly, we would like to thank the Lions Club for distributing dictionaries to the third-grade classes. Each student, including Spanish-speaking students, received a dictionary.

From the AP From the AP

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! It's hard to believe that this week has already flown by. I was thrilled to see so many students and staff participating in the daily themes for Homecoming Week. On Friday, I had the pleasure of awarding the monthly Brave Ticket winners, and it was amazing to see so many students with positive behavior in the drawing. Great job! At the end of each of the nine weeks, we will celebrate all students who have shown positive behavior and good attendance. Congratulations to Brigette Lopez, Chase Peterson, Liam Gingerich, and Abel Rush for being named Brave of the Week. Have a fantastic weekend, and don't forget to show your Brave Pride!

STEM in our school STEM in our school

What is STEM?

STEM education involves integrating science, technology, engineering, and math in hands-on, collaborative lessons that challenge students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills on a daily basis.

Mrs. Reeser's Class - Egg Drop

The students were given a task to collaborate and come up with a design that could protect an egg from cracks or breaking when dropped from the roof. They conducted an experiment by dropping the egg from the roof and evaluated their designs. Based on the results, they will make necessary modifications to their designs and repeat the experiment again in the future.

2nd Grade: Brigette Lopez

Brigette is a super Second-grader! She has been a huge help in welcoming our new students to our classroom. Brigette is a role model for other students to follow. She puts her best effort into all tasks, follows expectations, and she is very polite to those around her. I am so proud of Brigette’s hard work so far this year!

3rd Grade:Chase Peterson

Chase exhibits BRAVE's excellence. He is hard-working, respectful to his peers and teachers, and attentive in class discussions. He comes in each day ready to learn. I appreciate his positive attitude. He is a strong leader in STEM activities and does not let any challenge "get the best of him." I am blessed to have Chase in my class this school year. Congratulations, Chase!

4th Grade: Liam Gingerich

Liam is an incredibly kind student. Liam works extremely hard at everything he does, and he likes to make sure things are perfect. Liam is a respectful kid who takes his responsibilities very seriously. His classroom job is to hold the door, and he never forgets. Liam helps around the classroom by helping clean the board and is willing to volunteer when anyone needs help. When his classmates were asked what makes Liam a good choice for BRAVE of the week, they shared that he is hardworking, follows directions, and always does the right thing. We are very glad to have Liam as part of our class.
