Today is National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! We’re sending a big THANK YOU to our incredible bus drivers who safely transport our students day in and day out—rain or shine, early mornings and late afternoons. Your dedication, patience, and care do not go unnoticed. You’re truly the first smile our students see each day and the last at the end of a long one.

MACA Celebrates Silver and Golden Ticket Award Winners! MACA is proud to recognize students who exemplify outstanding character and positive behavior through our Silver Ticket and Golden Ticket awards! Each grading period, students have the opportunity to nominate their peers who consistently go above and beyond in demonstrating kindness, leadership, and respect. After careful review by our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) team, students vote for grade-level Silver Ticket winners. These students serve as role models within our school community. At the end of the grading period, teachers select one Golden Ticket winner from each grade level’s Silver Ticket recipients—an honor that highlights the best of the best! Congratulations to our latest winners! Your commitment to positive behavior and leadership inspires us all. Let’s continue to celebrate and support those who make MACA a great place to learn and grow! 🌟 #SilverTicket #GoldenTicket #PBIS #MACA #MACAProud
