After every trimester, MacArthur holds an awards ceremony in the gym called MacFest. One or two students are chosen for each award from each classroom. Students are recognized for their great efforts noted in the classroom by the teacher. Students also recieve ribbons and a certificate for a special treat. We begin the ceremony with singing our MacArthur School Song. New students are also welcomed and recognized as well as any birthdays celebrated during that quarter. The names and descriptions of the awards given are listed below.
