Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a Middle School student at MPA? Let Robin walk you through the top five things he thinks everyone should know about MPA, from his perspective as a seventh-grader!
1. MPA has an amazing theatre program.
Every year, there are many wonderful drama performances and I have participated in them. These performances are not only fun but also a great learning experience. During the last performance, I worked as a lighting technician and the teacher taught us a lot of useful skills. The whole process of performing was really enjoyable!
2. MPA’S robotics team is excellent.
Middle School students participate in the FTC robotics competition, while Upper School students compete in the FRC robotics competition. Our teams have achieved great results in these competitions. I love exploring, designing, and building robots with my teammates. It’s a fantastic experience of collaboration and innovation!
3. We have all-school assemblies.
My favorite MPA school-wide event is SnoDaze! One of the most fun activities during the assembly is when students got to slap whipped cream on teachers’ faces. It’s always hilarious and so much fun! This is one of the events I look forward to the most every year!
4. Students take a wide range of courses.
My favorite one is science class. We not only learn a lot of interesting knowledge but also get to conduct many experiments. I really enjoy the process of doing experiments, getting results, and exploring scientific knowledge on my own. It’s thrilling and makes me love science even more!
5. MPA music performances are a wonderful experience.
We hold many vocal and band performances throughout the year. I play the saxophone, and at MPA, we have band classes where we rehearse together and then perform. We always play fun and interesting songs, and I really enjoy every performance. It’s a wonderful experience every time!
