April Fools? More Like April Grannies! 🤣👵🏼🎭 Our Junior High teachers went all out for April Fools’ Day, showing up as the funniest, sassiest, slowest-moving grannies you’ve ever seen! Canes, curlers, shawls, and a whole lot of “Back in my day…” moments had everyone laughing all day long. And they didn’t just dress the part—they lived it! Complaining about "kids these days," forgetting where they were, and acting like they needed a nap every five minutes… it was too real! Safe to say, they fooled us all—and had a blast doing it! 👵🏼💙💛 #AprilFools #AgingGracefully #BestTeachersEver

📢 Reminder! 📢 ✨🎶 Brassy, Sassy & Classy! 🎶✨ Tomorrow is the big night!

🔥 MACA Juniors & Seniors Take on Career Exploration! 🔥 Today, our MACA juniors and seniors attended a career fair at SLCC, where they explored prospective schools and employer booths, gaining insight into various career paths and opportunities! 🎓💼 But our JAG students didn’t stop there! 🚒 We then visited the Opelousas Fire Department, where we learned firsthand what it takes to be a firefighter. From career paths in fire service to exploring the bunkhouse and fire trucks, our students got an up-close look at the dedication and skills required for the job. 👨‍🚒🔥 After an exciting and educational morning, we worked up an appetite and made a stop for lunch 🍔🥤 before heading back to school. Not even the bad weather 🌧️ could slow us down—our JAG students are Breaking Barriers & Building Bridges! 💪✨ #MACAJAG #CareerExploration #BreakingBarriers #BuildingBridges #FutureReady 🚀
