We are trying something new this year for Faculty and Staff Appreciation, which is being hosted by different grade groupings throughout the year, and it has been a huge hit. Last Friday, parent volunteers from seventh through ninth grade hosted candle-making, special breakfast drinks, and a raffle. Thank you to all who chipped in to show our love for the faculty and staff at MPA!

MPA Book Festival
Get ready to fall in love with reading at the MPA Book Festival from February 10-13 in the MPA Gallery!
Each year at MPA, our community supports the Martin Lenz Harrison Library and the joy of reading through the Book Festival.

The book festival is for everyone!
