Tales from our Youngest Wildcats
Dr. Seuss is on the Loose at the MACC
Dear MACC Families,
Today we kick off March is Reading month. Throughout this month, weβll be engaging in a variety of fun and educational activities that will help foster a love for books and storytelling. From story time to interactive reading games, we will be encouraging the children to explore the world of reading in creative and enjoyable ways.
One of the most impactful things you can do to support your child's literacy journey is to read with them at home. Whether itβs a picture book, a storybook, or even just a short passage, reading together creates a bonding experience that sparks imagination and builds essential skills like vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency.
Here are a few simple ways you can make reading part of your everyday routine:
- Read aloud every day β Even if itβs just for 10 minutes, your child will benefit from hearing your voice and seeing the words.
- Make reading interactive β Ask questions about the story, point out pictures, and encourage your child to predict what will happen next.
- Visit the library β Let your child choose books that interest them. The more they enjoy reading, the more likely they are to develop a lifelong love for books.
- Be a reading role model β Children love to imitate their parents, so let them see you reading your own books or magazines!
Your involvement makes a huge difference in your childβs success as a reader. Together, we can inspire a love of reading that lasts a lifetime!
Warmest regards,
Jennifer Stoneman

Dear Parents,
We are grateful to offer school bus transportation to ensure students travel safely and conveniently to and from school. School bus rides are an extension of the classroom, and students are expected to demonstrate the same level of responsibility and respect while on the bus. Proper behavior not only ensures their safety, but also the safety of fellow students and the bus driver.
We kindly ask for your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child. Key behavior guidelines include:
- Remaining seated and facing forward throughout the ride.
- Using kind and respectful language.
- Keeping hands, feet, and belongings to themselves.
- Following the bus driverβs instructions promptly.
By working together, we can make every studentβs bus ride a positive and safe experience. Thank you for your partnership in supporting this important part of your childβs school day.
