COMMUNITY SERVICE Community Service Summer Camp Believe it or not, Maclay now offers a summer camp for service! This summer, Upper School teacher Caroline Scheer (‘01) organized a two-week camp that had 27 students (21 Maclay students). It was a great two weeks of helping agencies in the community and having the opportunity to be hands-on and make an impact. Agencies included The Kearney Center, Equine Therapy, Ability 1st, Second Harvest, Hang Tough Foundation, and the Holocaust Education Resource Center.
Support for Haiti
The Upper School French Club, Key Club, and Universal Human Rights Initiative worked with a local pastor to send school supplies to Haiti after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on August 14th devastated the south of the country and killed almost 2,000 people.
Lee’s Garden Several members of Key Club spent Veterans Day sprucing up Lee’s Garden. The Garden, which was named for Lee Rabalais, a student at Maclay who died of bone cancer at age 14, was created by then-student Mike Moody in Lee’s honor as an Eagle Scout Project many years ago. The service club on campus rededicated the Garden in 2019. 6
Guardium Ad Litem
Many classes and service clubs all pitched in this year to support the Guardium Ad Litem program. Students collected and shopped for gifts and gift cards that were delivered to the GAL to be distributed to over 50 children.
