Class Gala Basket

Mar8

Help our class put together an amazing basket to be auctioned at next weekend’s Gala.   The Gala has become an essential part of MMA’s fundraising efforts.  All proceeds from the Gala directly support your child’s education!

Your children came up with a lot of great themes for baskets, from Star Wars to Nature Lover, but the winning basket was a Read-a-thon themed basket.

You can sign up to donate items at this link.   If you have something that is not on the list that you feel would be a great addition to our basket, please don’t hesitate to send it to school with your child.

All donations must be received by Thursday, March 17.

Winter Break Refresh

Dec18

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the kind gifts you showered on both Ms. Kari and me.  We appreciate all of your thoughtfulness.

Thank you for the time you have volunteered this year whether it has been to chaperon a field trip, arrange rides, or help us cook pancakes,  you are all appreciated!

I will be taking this winter break to spend much needed time with my family, rejuvenate and reflect.  I hope you all do the same, and in the hustle of the holiday season…breathe.

Happy Holidays!

See you next year!
