Tales from our Youngest Wildcats

Hi MACC families,

It was so nice to see so many familiar faces at the Wildcat Walkabout last Friday! What a beautiful evening it turned out to be! We hope you had a chance to stop by the MACC table, play some games, and enjoy the fun! 💙🐾

💙 Parent-Teacher Conferences October 14th and 15th.

We are looking forward to connecting with our MACC families during Parent-Teacher Conferences! This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate your child's successes, share how they are learning and growing, and talk about what's next in their journey.

Most importantly, we want you to know that we are a team! We love working alongside you to help your little Wildcat learn, grow, and shine! 💙🐾

With heartfelt gratitude,

Jennifer Stoneman
