Previous Events

Martial Arts demonstration of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Date: March 10, 2011
Destination: Arone Jiu-Jitsu Academy, Tewksbury MA.
Time: 3:35 pm – 5:30 pm
Through an expert led demonstration on floor mats, students learnt the basic ground maneuvers of Jiu-Jitsu. Since this popular self-defense system does not entail striking and relies on leverage over body mass, it is appropriate for all individuals.  The benefits of this cerebral and humane martial art include the cultivation of mental focus, physical fitness, and respect for oneself and others.

Anthony Febo (a Matter of Fact actor and talented local poet) has an urban poetics/performance club that meets at MCC every Monday and Wednesday from 3:30 pm - 6:00 pm.  Members of this group also compete in the local area. On March 8th at 3:45 pm, Febo performed several poems at LMACS and provided an overview of his club.  Thereafter, every Monday and Wednesday after school during the month of March, LMACS students had the opportunity to be coached by Febo at MCC. Despite initial enthusiasm, involvement waned after the first week, so the activity was discontinued at the end of March.

LMACS Science Instructor Honored

It is with great pleasure that we share the very exciting accomplishment of one of our faculty members! LMACS science teacher, Ms. Chen, was recognized in February 2011 with the Cubist Pharmaceuticals Science Education Leadership Award. The Lexington-based biopharmaceutical company, in partnership with the New England Patriots Radio Network, 98.5 The Sports Hub, selected Ms. Chen for the honor. Ms. Chen’s award nomination stated: “Her passion and creativity generate enthusiasm and promote curiosity in her students… She inspires students who may become scientists who make great discoveries, as well as those who simply want to know more about how things work. She is a tremendous asset to her students, her school, and the city of Lowell.”

On hand for the presentation at the MCC Federal Building was former New England Patriots offensive lineman, Joe Andruzzi, who had inspiring words for our students and faculty. Cubists Pharmaceuticals presented LMACS with a $500 check to be used by the school’s science program. Ms. Chen was also recognized during the New England Patriots season as one of 10 “Teachers of the Week,” innovative science teachers in middle schools and high schools throughout New England. Congratulations to Ms. Chen on receiving this honor and we are grateful for her dedication to our students!
