📢 Here’s what’s happening at MACA this week! Stay tuned for all the upcoming events and activities! 🗓️

🌍 8th Grade WWI Trench Projects 🌍 Mrs. Brown’s 8th-grade students have been diving into World War I history! Along with building model trenches inspired by those used in the war—displayed here by Marly O. and Drake E. —they also wrote sensory poems to capture life in the trenches. Here’s a powerful poem by Kaitlyn S., giving a glimpse into the sights, sounds, and emotions of WWI. Great job bringing history to life, 8th grade! 💥📜 #MACALearning #WWIProjects #HistoryComesAlive #MACA
