August recap

A Great Start to the School Year

August was a busy one in the best way. We welcomed our newest MPA families at the Kindergarten Meet-up, celebrated the first day of school, treated our teachers and staff to a well-deserved welcome-back lunch, and delivered 397 of School Toolboxes to the school.

We loved kicking off another year together and can't wait for everything ahead.
