September recap

September Highlights

September gave MPA families plenty of reasons to spend time together.

We kicked off the month with Party on the Playground, enjoyed a very bright night at the Glow Party, and got the Snack Cart back in full swing for our teachers and staff.

Thank you to the families and volunteers who helped make these moments possible. We loved seeing our MPA community together.
