Principal News
Dear MacArthur Families,
There are so many things to be grateful for. We each have to make a conscious choice to be thankful and have gratitude. What better time of year to look at all the things we have to be thankful for than during this Thanksgiving. I am so thankful to be the principal of MacArthur School. We have caring students, teachers, staff, PTO, and parents to just name a few things that makes me thankful to work at MacArthur.
I would like to take a moment to highlight one of our 3rd grade students, June Beck who just donated her hair to "Children with Hair Loss" to help make a wig for someone who is in need. What an amazing gift June blessed a complete stranger and I am sure the person on the receiving end of June’s hair is truly thankful.
A special thanks to all those who donated items for our Student Council Food Drive. Together, we helped bless many families in need.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Marian Buchko
