Today was Louise the Pig's lucky day, she got a big smooch from Mrs. Rowland! She was the winner of the Kiss the Pig food drive contest! 283 cans of food were collected to fill MEC's Little Free Pantry! Thank you to all the students who donated canned items to stock the pantry.
Students celebrated Pi Day by having an opportunity to pie Mr. Parham in the face if they could memorize and recite at least 30 numbers of Pi, followed by being served their own slice of pie🥧! Happy Pi Day!

Macon County Schools is now accepting lunch applications and meal payments.
If your student attends Cartoogechaye Elementary, East Franklin Elementary, Iotla Valley Elementary, Macon Early College, Macon Middle, Mountain View Intermediate, Nantahala, South Macon, or Union, they will receive meals at no cost as a part of the Community Eligibility Provision for the 2023-2024 school year. We do still encourage meal applications to help your child/children with other eligibilities and to help support the school district.
Macon County Schools is utilizing a new system and parent portal where you can submit meal applications and pay meal fees. Macon County Schools is no longer using lunchapplication.com or K12 Payment Center, and you are now unable to make payments with your old account.
To continue making meal payments, please create a new account at https://www.linqconnect.com
You may also submit meal applications through LINQ Connect for the current school year.
A BIG shout out to John Hamlin from State Farm and to Discover Church for showing their support for our MEC students! Mr. Hamlin brought donuts for every student on the first day of school and Discover Church supplied pizza for the student body on the second day of school. What a way to start out the school year!
We are grateful to have such strong community support for our MEC students. Thank you John Hamlin and Discover Church!
