The Mass Academy Community Service (MACS) Club is run by Ms. Small and offers many opportunites to help out the community throughout the summer and during the school year. I participated in one of the monthly STEM Saturdays in September at the Worcester Public Library. We planned two activities about light and one on the chemical reactions in slime to teach children about STEM.
Every year Mass Academy dedicates the day after October break to community service. This year, a majority of the students decided to volunteer to teach elementary to middle school children at Tatnuck Magnet School a lesson on STEM. I helped to plan and teach a lesson on magnets to third graders.
Project New Hope is an organization that helps veterans and their families rebuild their lives. This organization runs a food and baby item pantry, hosts reteats, and helps veterans get the support they need. I volunteered at Sully's Food and Baby Pantry to help fill orders and distribute food and houshold items to veterans and their families for 45 hours over the summer. Visit their website here!
