McKamy Technology Leaders Visit

 

McKamy and MRC were delighted to host as a middle school of excellence the Technology Leaders from the Republic of Palau, located in the Marshall Islands.

 

The journey began the day prior at FMHS for an afternoon then the MRBC Board and Mr. Blalack joined them for a dinner roundtable with their five Chiefs from the Ministry of Education and TSA leaders from Region 11.

 

Their afternoon at McKamy began with a sharing of educational best practices, that included an overview of our robotics program and club, with Principal Taggart and members from the MRBC Board. Following the delegation took a tour of McKamy, had an engaging meeting with our returning MRC students on their experiences and then observed a number of classes! 

 

As you can see from the picture above we now have new friends in Palau!

 

 

Stuff the Pantry

 

Special thank you to all our MRC families that donated generously to  McKamy's Stuff The Pantry drive!!

 

Your 152 donations will enable families in the local communities that LISD serves receive much needed food to eat these next few months.  We know all our club members are in sports, band, orchestra, chess, etc. Thank you for digging deep to support MRC as the newest club on campus!
