Dance Marathon Raises Over $75,000

Maclay’s Upper School Dance Marathon club raised a total of $75,327.03 during the 2020-2021 year. Congratulations to all “dancers” and participants, including our Middle School, who held a mini-marathon again this year.

Two junior students in the Upper School, Duel Yearty and Stuart Higdon chose Maclay Middle School as the beneficiary of their Eagle Scout Project. Middle schoolers now have the pleasure of enjoying their “gaga ball ring” during break time, which was a huge hit with the students.

Food Waste Drive

Students brought in 333 pounds of food waste goods, beating Leon High School in raising a higher amount of food. The Upper School also won a dress-down day for their success.

Upper School Students Make Sure No Child Sleeps on the Floor

Upper School hosted a Community Service Week this year which included collected donations for the non-profit organization, Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP). Once all the donations were in, our students were able to donate five sets of bedding to Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

EAGLE PROJECT IS A BIG HIT

PB&J Drive

Maclay partnered with WCTV and Leon County Schools again this year to collect PB&J for the area food bank to assist with providing sandwiches for students this summer while school is out of session.

Maclay Community Service Club Raises $1,400 for Student United Way

During the March Marauder Madness Week, the Maclay Community Service Club held a One School Coin Drive to benefit the Student United Way in Tallahassee. Student representatives Teresa Morgado and Isabel McDaniel had the opportunity to attend the “reward” ceremony for 4th grade which included the presentation of Krispy Kreme donuts. Teresa and Isabel talked with the winning 4th grade classes about the many services the United Way provides to our community. Overall, Maclay collected over $1,400 in the drive.

Healthcare Thank You

Jr. Beta delivered cute bags filled with Hershey’s Kisses and heart shaped lollipops for healthcare workers in the COVID 19 unit at TMH. The Middle School Club wanted to say “Thank You” to our community heroes.
