About MACA
Why We Do This
We all benefit when the cultural life in our community is strong and full of energy Businesses benefit when the community offers their staff and their families a richer more satisfying life. The schools are enriched when the students find something that sparks their desire to be present and involved. For some it is math, for some it is science or history, BUT for other students it is picking up an instrument and finding they can create music. There is a very strong link between music and a student’s math and reading achievement.
What sparked YOU? What made you excited to get up and head to school? Was it baseball or football, OR was it band, choir, art class, or the school play? Did you like to write or design stages or plot football moves? For some students the academic is all they need to set their minds humming, but for some students the avenue to reaching them is some form of creative expression. As a community, we owe the children BOTH!
