Sweet Appreciation: Celebrate Our Principal on National Principals Day! Students, teachers, and staff at MACA celebrated National Principals Day on May 1st, a day dedicated to honoring the hard work and dedication of school leaders. This year, the celebration has a particularly sweet twist, with students expressing their gratitude through candy-themed messages and gifts. Mrs. Angelle always puts in the 'extra' time for us, so we're giving her Extra gum to show our appreciation!” exclaimed Avonte, an 8th grade student at MACA. Other students added messages such as you "Stay Calm when it's Crunch time." Mrs. Angelle's leadership has been instrumental in creating a positive learning environment. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication. National Principals Day is a chance to recognize the vital role principals play in shaping the educational experience for students and fostering a supportive community for teachers and staff. The creative and heartwarming candy-themed celebration at MACA is just one way the school community is saying "Thank You!" to Mrs. Angelle for her outstanding leadership.

Happy National School Principals Day! Today, we honor and celebrate the incredible leadership of our principal, Mrs. Natalie Angelle! Your dedication, vision, and heart make a lasting impact on our students, staff, and school community. Thank you for being a guiding light, a champion for excellence, and a steady source of support through every challenge and success. Your leadership inspires us all—thank you for everything you do! #PrincipalsDay #ThankYouPrincipal #MACAProud
