Mrs. Maynard's Message

MACS students are working hard!  The 6th grade Life Skills class made strawberry preserves during class this week. The business class created logos and a “business” website. The FFA group celebrated FFA week by handing out flowers to our local neighbors.   
The Ocala Civic Theater is visiting each classroom next week for imaginative storytelling.

Congratulations to Thomas Routh for being selected to exhibit his work in "The Friends of Elementary Arts Student & Mentor" exhibit at the Gainesville Fine Arts Association Gallery. Thomas is recognized for his motivation, dedication and follow-through in his artwork. Thomas' drawing is showcased alongside the work of local painter, Michele Karahalios' work. Both artists enjoy spending time in nature and creating art about it. MACS is so proud of you, Thomas! The work will be on display at the gallery through March 20th. Be sure to check it out!
