Mrs. Colter reports that Macey is always such a caring and kind student. She has done many good deeds throughout this school year to demonstrate this. For example, earlier in the year, she brought in a box of used pencils in good condition to donate to the class. Her most recent kind act- She wanted to bring in a class treat for Halloween. She was aware of an allergy in our classroom. She and her mom researched, planned, and made cookies that were free of the allergen! This was all Macey's idea, and she was so excited to be able to provide a treat that everyone could enjoy! Her thoughtfulness shines through in everything she does!

The new schedules will be distributed to students on Monday, October 30th, and they will have a few minutes to discuss their schedule changes with their teachers before classes switch. Please take a look at the attached letter for more details. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our team.
