High-pressure fundraising campaigns that guilt you into giving? There’s no joy in that. And at MPA, we’re all about the joy. Our joyful approach to learning — combined with a rigorous curriculum and exceptional faculty — sets us apart from other college preparatory schools. Here, students achieve long-term success without burning out or taking themselves too seriously.
This fall, we’re mounting a seven-week joy-raising campaign to celebrate our school, come together as a community, and invest in our institution. The festivities kick off with a free event for parents on Thursday, Oct. 9, 4-6 p.m. at Hillcrest Golf Club, with complimentary childcare at Panther Club until 6:30 p.m. It’ll be a casual, come-as-you-are atmosphere where you can relax with other parents, enter drawings for special MPA merchandise, and hear from Dr. Bill Hudson, Development Director LaTasha St. Arnault, and Fall Campaign Chair Jennifer Gatti.
To RSVP, email community@moundsparkacademy.org or call the RSVP line at 651-748-5534
Your gifts provide essential support to MPA, such as funding the financial aid program, providing support for new academic initiatives, updates to our facilities, our athletic programs, and the arts — every gift to MPA demonstrates a commitment to our school. It closes the gap between tuition income and the actual cost of creating an outstanding, personalized education. It sends a powerful signal that MPA is something wonderful and important.
And all joy counts, in all amounts. We are humbled by the continued generosity of our community, and we appreciate that giving is very individual. Every donation is voluntary, welcomed and valued. Every financial contribution helps ensure that an MPA education is attainable and accessible to families across the Twin Cities, and also provides a tax-deductible way to support our school.
We hope to see you at our joyful campaign kickoff on the 9th! Please mark your calendar for this all-joy, no-pressure event. If you have any questions, please reach out to LaTasha or Jenn.
