📚✨ Our MACA Social Studies Teachers at the LCSS Conference! ✨📚 This week, our dedicated high school social studies teachers had the privilege of attending the Louisiana Council for the Social Studies (LCSS) Conference at the historic World War II Museum in New Orleans. 🇺🇸 They came back with a plethora of new resources, fresh knowledge, and a renewed excitement to bring history alive for our students! 🎉 We’re so excited to see how their passion and these new tools will inspire the classroom. Stay tuned for engaging and innovative lessons ahead! #MACASocialStudies #LCSSConference #HistoryInTheMaking #WWIIMuseum #TeacherLearning #InspiredTeaching

🌟 Our MACA JAG Students at the Louisiana Student Leadership Conference! 🌟 We are so proud of our MACA students for attending their very first JAG Louisiana Student Leadership Conference! They had an amazing time connecting with other JAG students from across the state. 🤝 They broke off into sessions to learn, grow, and share ideas—gaining valuable skills to bring back to our JAG family. Not only did they learn a lot, but they also enjoyed some delicious food 🍽️ and even showed off their awesome dance moves! 💃🕺 It was an incredible experience, and we can’t wait to share everything with the rest of our JAG members! Ready to lead, grow, and shine together. 💫 #MACAJAG #JAGLeadership #LouisianaJAG #StudentSuccess #LeadershipConference

🎉 Mentor/Mentee Kickoff Event Recap 🎉 On Tuesday, we had an amazing Mentor/Mentee Kickoff Event where all 9th grade students found out who their 11th/12th grade mentors would be for the school year! 🎓💬 Our mentor/mentee pairs spent the day getting to know each other through conversation, cooperative games, and creating a special "Class of 2028 Commitment to Graduate Mural." Each 9th grader left their handprint and name on the mural, symbolizing their promise to make the most of their freshman year. With their mentors by their side, they're ready to succeed! 🙌 The event included fun activities like the "Get To Know Me" questionnaire, balancing relay races, and energetic games of Heads-Up! 📝🏃‍♀️🎉 We're so excited to see these connections grow throughout the year! #MentorshipMatters #CommitmentToGraduate #ClassOf2028
