The Goodnos

Meet The Goodno Family

As the parents of three girls, Sara '16, senior Abby, and sophomore Katelyn, Kevin and Linda Goodno came to MPA in 2009 for challenge at appropriate, individualized levels. They found that in the classrooms and through athletics, specifically basketball and soccer. Kevin shares, "They've all found athletics as a way to develop skills, be part of a team, and be part of the broader community. The social interaction with older students helped them mature and be more confident in themselves."

Grateful for what MPA has provided their girls, Kevin and Linda are quick to volunteer and are generous with their gifts to the school. "Clearly, if you are making contributions, all students are benefiting from that. But you are also showing your own children the importance of being involved in the community, and setting an example for how to leave the places you are a part of in a better position than how you found them," says Kevin. MPA is so grateful for the many ways the Goodno family contributes to this community—both on and off the courts and fields!

DeeDee Stacy

Meet DeeDee Stacy

"Fourth grade teacher DeeDee Stacy came to MPA in 1989 and is the parent of two alumnae, Greta '11 and Emma '15. She has given to MPA in so many generous ways, most publicly as the Swim Club coach since 2004 (see page seven).

"I make the choices that I make about my time because I am passionate about what I do. Beyond the classroom, all of us faculty members have passions we choose to share—for some people it is the art shows they take the kids to, for some it is coaching athletics—and for me, it was trying to establish a swim program for our youngest kids," DeeDee shares.

Uniquely positioned as both a teacher and a parent of alumni, she wholeheartedly believes that students need to see their teachers going above and beyond because that is what is expected of them. "I recognize the hours that others have put in for my own children in speech, debate, drama, art, music, athletics, and academics. I know what that extra mile meant to my girls. I hope to give that same feeling to all of our current students."

Spring Auction

Besides being a great deal of fun, the MPA Spring Auction is our largest community event and only fundraiser. Thanks to the generous MPA community, we raised more than $250,000 at the 2016 auction. There are two primary functions of the auction. First, it is an opportunity for all parents, alumni, faculty, and friends to build community and to celebrate our common interest in education. Second, it is an opportunity to raise much needed funds. Thank you to our 2016 Spring Auction donors!
