This year, our MTAC group was small and mainly comprised of 6th Grade Students. We able to get some good long term projects started, such as the Series Signs

MTAC is the BEST THING EVER!!! It is really fun and I ALWAYS look forward to the meetings. IDK how to explain why it is so fun, but it is! -Abel B
MTAC has been a very fun and unique learning experience. Although I’m not sure if i’ll be rejoining next year because of a hockey thing that will be happening. I have enjoyed my tenure here very much and hope all future members have as good of an experience as I have. -Jack R
MTAC is generally a great way to team up to work on projects, and learn new things. My first experience was great and this was a very fun club. - Charlie L
MTAC is amazing thing it helps the school and you can do very cool things help the library and and do things with books. -Caleb M
I liked working on projects throughout the year, and I was put into a situation where I was kind of a student leader. I enjoyed working on the series signs. I think that MTAC looks really good on a transcript if you are in it for a while, and it’s also nice to get to know people from other grade levels. I won’t be here next year, but if I could improve something it’d be more marketing to get people to join. - David S
