Together, We Dream is a unique philanthropic campaign supporting several key milestones with four distinct priorities. The first of these priorities was the completion of our school’s commons, cafeteria, and kitchen which students, faculty and staff, and community members are already enjoying. Thanks to your generosity, we are excited to share with you the impact of these new spaces. In the coming months, we will be sharing additional stories of impact and how Together, We Dream is helping to enhance social environments, create new learning spaces, secure our future, and advance athletics and Panther pride. On behalf of students, faculty, and staff, thank you.
The spaces we share matter. It’s where memories are created, learning is fostered, and our community is built.
“My son Henry LOVES the upgraded booth seating in his new cafeteria! Sitting at a booth for lunch was one of the highlights of his first day of school. He shared with me that he feels ‘lucky’ to have such a nice space for lunch,” said Suzanne Schwartz, MPA Parent.
Your gift has allowed us to create flexible spaces with adaptive seating enjoyed by PreK-12 students.
“MPA students are in the cafeteria daily. It is important that they have an inviting space for lunch,” said Jim and Nansee Greeley MPA Parents of Alumni. “In this day and age of technology it is important that we provide students time to interact with each other without the distraction of phones and computers. The kitchen upgrade will insure the continuance of healthy, appealing lunches.”
You stood up for what you believe in, and thanks to your support, we have already achieved so much for our students.
“Students haven’t wasted a second in putting the new commons, cafeteria, and state-of-the-art kitchen to use. They are gathering, collaborating, and connecting with one another in new ways,” beamed Dr. Bill Hudson, Head of School. “Seeing kids create community over a fresh, nutritious meal, or gathering together to brainstorm an idea for a club or class project is exactly how we wanted this space to be used. In the coming months, I can’t wait to see parents, grandparents, alumni, and parents of alumni also join together to celebrate the spirit of MPA in our beautiful new space.”
Whether you’re a proud parent or grandparent, a committed community member, a dedicated teacher, a loyal alum, or even a student yourself—your support for the Together, We Dream Enhanced Social Environments Priority has resulted in a renovated commons, cafeteria, and kitchen that is a dream come true.
Thank you to our generous community.
