Determined to Dream

Determined To Dream Foundation In June of 1987, Garret Anderson and Teresa Arceniega both graduated from Maclay. Just 16 years later, they would create a foundation that would be a great benefit to many current Maclay students. Garret went on to be a major league baseball player, and Teresa became his wife. Together they wanted to do something for their old middle school, and the foundation was created. The Andersons put forth $100,000 a year to support a variety of activities at Maclay with a focus on reading. The foundation's goal is simple: to encourage reading and improve reading scores, while also exposing students to more aspects of life outside the local neighborhood. We want our students to be "Determined to Dream". The foundation provides an array of rewards offered as incentives. These include college scholarship money, trips to Washington, New York, or Boston, trips to Disneyland and a baseball game, school day field trips, and reading contests throughout the year. The reading contests provide rewards for reading in the form of cash and merchandise, with the biggest rewards going to those who read the most.
