Our call to action is simple: be a part of the MPA school community! The goal of the Parents Association is to provide clear, accessible ways for parents/guardians to be active participants in the quality of community that surrounds the student body collectively. Efforts are being made each month to invite you in to learn, support, and lead in partnership with faculty and staff in a variety of ways. Check out what’s coming up this month! Let us know if you see new or different ways to strengthen our efforts by emailing PA@moundsparkacademy.org.
Panther Sports Committee Kickoff Meeting!
Saturday, October 12, from 10 AM-12 PM
Porter Conference Room
Everyone is welcome! The PA is actively seeking new members for the Panther Sports Committee.
Please contact Christine Larson at clarsonPA@moundsparkacademy.org.The Panther Sports Committee is hoping for your input if you are passionate about athletics at MPA.
If you have a sporty Lower School student and see MPA athletics in your future this is a great place to join the team! If you have a Middle School student who plays club sports and you’re not sure how that translates to MPA sports, this is the spot for you. If you have an Upper School athlete who is hoping to play their sport in college, we may be able to connect you with like-minded families. The Panther Sports Committee will determine topics of interest and work closely with Dan Haase, athletic director to support MPA athletics. Read More
Thank you! With a full month under our belt, the 2024-2025 school year has already been rich with community connections. Thank you for showing up in support of the MPA school community through Back To School events, Quarterly Coffees, Faculty & Staff Appreciation, affinity groups, and more. All parents and guardians are an integral part of this school and we look forward to further connections in October!
Get ready for the Rainbow Club! The Rainbow Club is for any Lower School parents, faculty, and staff members who identify or have children that identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. The group is being organized by MPA parent Rachael Weber and exists to have important conversations, create a close-knit community, and share resources with each other throughout the year.
Connection is brewing! You don’t have to drink coffee to take advantage of the way coffee brings people together. Throughout the school year, the MPA Parents Association hosts social events that build community between families and between families and school staff.
Did you know Mounds Park Academy is a place for parents, too? The MPA Parents Association (MPAPA) is your place to directly build community, continue traditions, support faculty and staff, and find resources as an MPA family. Each year, the MPAPA is looking for volunteers to give their time to lead, support, and assist with the following events:
