Students report on fall play, Veterans Day program and mock interviews
Summary
Student representatives and presenters updated the board on a quarter celebration, an upcoming fall play at MacKay (Nov. 19–20), a Veterans Day program, 'Pastries with Pals' volunteer events and senior mock interviews; attendees praised community engagement and suggested clearer event advertising.
Student and school representatives briefed the board on recent and upcoming activities. A presenter (S5) said students with 90% or better attendance were rewarded with gift cards at a quarter celebration, announced a fall play scheduled for Nov. 19–20 at 7 p.m. in the MacKay auditorium, described the Veterans Day program on Nov. 11 that included Kiwanis participation, and highlighted volunteer-driven events such as 'Pastries with Pals' and senior mock interviews held Nov. 3.
Board members and parents praised student engagement and recommended clearer advertising for community events that charged fees (to avoid surprise carnival charges). The board expressed appreciation for volunteers and encouraged greater board presence at school events. "For me as a parent, that's pretty incredible to see... I think it's great," one attendee said while commending the volunteer activities and student efforts.
