Just when you thought spring couldn’t get any better, SAC is back with the most iconic Spring Spirit Week yet. From April 28 to May 2, ditch the dull and embrace the sunshine, the retro fits, the food, and the vibes. SAC has a lot in store for you, and you definitely don’t want to miss out. Let us usher in the season of warmth together!

Come cozy, give back. Rock your baggiest fit while supporting a great cause. All donations go to Diabetes Canada! Everyone who donates will get a sweet treat!

Sincerely,
SAC 2025

Hey MAC!!
Before we dive into the warmer weather and spring season, SAC wants to highlight the incredibly fun, spirited and community-building hockey buyout we hosted on February 27th. Our very own Mackenzie Lyons took on Earl Haig Secondary School in an exciting matchup. Over 100 WLMAC students and teachers showed up to support our LYON athletes on the ice and we raised over $1000 for the Right to Play charity organization ❄️🏒
It was a highly thrilling and competitive match, full of cheering, face paint and an undeniable amount of school spirit. The energy and spirit throughout the community was truly infectious. We are proud to share that our LYONS emerged victorious after showcasing an incredible sense of talent, teamwork, grit and dedication. 🙌🦁
The hockey buyout was a true reflection of the high calibre of our LYON coaches and athletes and an incredible celebration of the spirit and sportsmanship throughout our community. 🥅Ⓜ️🏒
SAC is looking forward to our upcoming MAC’s Got Talent event and May spirit week, so make sure to stay tuned for what’s to come as we enter Spring! 💝🌼💐🌟🌙

Diversity at Mac: Celebrating Black History Month and Chinese Heritage Month
Hey Mac! During the month of February, Black Heritage Month is proudly recognized across Canada. This month is an opportunity to recognize the contributions and achievements of Black Canadians. African Canadians have made countless contributions to Canada while overcoming significant hardships such as racism and marginalization. The TDSB theme for this year is Lift Every Voice, drawn from the first line of the Black National Anthem that encourages collective strength, diversity, and resilience. 
Additionally, the TDSB recognizes Chinese Heritage Month in February. On January 29, Chinese Canadians celebrated Lunar New Year signifying the beginning of the Year of the Snake. During this month, we celebrate the culture and traditions of the Chinese community. Canada is home to over 1.5 million Chinese Canadians that have made substantial contributions to the growth and prosperity of Canada. 
At Mackenzie, we honour Black History Month and Chinese Heritage Month with pride. Here’s what’s happening at WLMAC:
→ Black History Month Assembly organized by BSA (Black Student Alliance)
→ Chinese cultural snack handout
→ BSA Meetings
→ Assorted equity activities and displays
