MCJC Update

Montgomery County Junior Councils, or MCJC, is a county wide SGA. Their mission is to raise student advocacy and voices in all the middle schools of the county, and in some cases, the entire state, due to their relation with the Maryland Association of Student Councils (MASC).

At their 1st executive board meeting, they had donated stuffed animals to Bryanna’s Love. This organization is a non-profit that donates these cuddly, soft animals to kids who are battling cancer, in order to make them feel better. The previous MCJC executive board raised $1,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a non-profit organization that gives children with life-threatening medical issues a ‘wish’ like experience. One of the Make-A-Wish Foundation staff had personally came to the meeting to thank the MCJC of their work.
