Its has been a couple of very busy weeks at Mounds Park Academy. This week, we hosted Dr. Will Grundy, NASA scientist and lead investigator of the New Horizons mission to Pluto for a presentation to grades 2-12 on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we welcomed over 200 guests for our annual Grandparents and Special Friends Day concert and celebration. Though different, both events are windows into what makes MPA such a unique and special place.
I was very impressed with how well versed our students with the Pluto mission. Their questions were insightful and the students asking them were both curious and confident. Dr. Grundy was impressed and enjoyed meeting our students and teachers. His presence caused quite a stir and by the number of autographs he signed, he was treated more like a rock star than a scientist. Only at MPA!
