SAC Monthly Look-Back

October was a vibrant month for SAC and the Mackenzie community, brimming with spirit, culture, delicious food and giving back. We kicked off the month with our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, successfully supporting the North York Harvest Food Bank. Special congratulations to Ms. Spiliopoulous' class for bringing in the most donations and earning a pizza party 🍕🥳!
In recognition of World Mental Health Day, our Equity Reps raised awareness about mental health challenges in hopes of reducing stigma ❤️🩹🧘💚🫂. As the weather cooled, our Spirit Reps hosted a morning hot chocolate sale, warming hearts and boosting morale throughout the Mackenzie community ☕🤎.
To celebrate the Spooky Season, SAC organized a fun Candygram sale 🍬🏷️ . A highlight of the month was our Spirit Week, featuring daily themed outfits like Jersey Day and Twin Day. The culmination of the festivities was Mactoberfest on Halloween, which included culturally diverse food sales by various clubs, a spooky photo booth, thrilling stage show, and even an inflatable adventure ✨🎤📸🎆
Thank you to everyone who participated in our initiatives and helped contribute to the vibrancy of the school community in October! 🍂☕️🍁🎃
