Race for Education Update
4/8/2022 4:29 pm
Race4Education was aMAYSing!
It was fabulous to see all of the smiling faces and hear the laughter. It has been far too long since we we have been able to hold a school wide event that included everyone!
Thank you so much for the Race4Education Lead, Shelby Maltese for organizing the event.
To date we have raised over $17,000 for our students and school.
A huge thank you goes out to all of the volunteers who helped prepare, set up and clean up for the event as well. Also special thank you to the teachers who ran with their students and helped facilitate the day. Mr. Coco's hair is all cut off thanks to some students and the 5th grade team ended the day by all taking a whipped cream pie to the face. Thank you to Ross Orthodontics for donating the water and snacks for students as well as giving them a reusable water bottle. This event would not have been successful without the help of the staff and volunteers.

Community Outreach Opportunity
Mays Chapel United Methodist Church (MCUMC) partners with MCES to provide weekend meals to families dealing with food-insecurity.
The program is called FELT (Feeding Empty Little Tummies) and currently serves 12 families.
TeamGantt provides a monthly donation to support this program and off set some of the cost Unfortunately, due to rising prices, this is not covering as much as it previously had.
MCUMC will gladly accept donations at anytime in a bin located outside its front doors. This is an ongoing effort led entirely by volunteers, so there’s no urgency. Food or monetary donations will be accepted on an on-going basis. This partnership has no religious affiliation and there are no barriers to entry.
Please reach out to Meredith Reynolds with any questions. meredith.bray.reynolds@gmail.
