Mahopac Central School District

Mahopac Middle School's Eighth grade class had the opportunity to connect with high school clubs this morning at Springfest. The students roamed the MHS gyms and met with representatives of dozens of clubs, considering which organizations they might want to join next school year.

Despite the rain, Lakeview Elementary students came together in the name of charity today for the annual Stuff the Bus event. Students have been bringing in non-perishable food donations and today is the day that they stuff the bus and send it to Saint John's Food Pantry.
