💚🎄Our MACA teachers have done it again! 🎄💚 This week’s Secret Dress-Up Day brought a Grinch-tastic twist, and let’s just say the holiday spirit was alive and well—maybe with a little Max on top! Who’s your favorite Grinch character? Max seems to be stealing hearts this season, but we can’t forget the Grinch himself or the Whos of Who-ville! Check out this festive snapshot of our incredible teachers spreading joy (and maybe some Grinchy grins)! #MACATeachers #GrinchDay #HolidayCheer

🧊🐧 Engineering in Action! 🐧🧊 Our 8th-grade students are diving into an exciting engineering project! Their mission? Design and construct a home that will keep their penguin-shaped ice cubes cool in a warming environment. 📐 First, they sketched out detailed blueprints, applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 🏗️ Now, they're bringing their plans to life, building creative models to protect their "penguins." 🔥 Finally, the real test—placing their models in the "hot box" to see how well they work under heat! We're so proud of their innovative designs and teamwork! #MACAInnovators #STEMinAction #CoolPenguins
