A HUGE Thank You to Julie Zeigler and her committee for putting on the Fall Festival yesterday! It was great fun, the children had a blast, and it was wonderful seeing so many people supportive of MAPA and MMA. Here is a note from Julie Zeigler re: profit.

—————————————

Beautiful afternoon and wonderful turnout of MMA families and friends! It looks like we made just about $3600 this year (double last year’s festival) and of that, approximately $1400 from the Silent Auction. Thank you to Julie Simmons who helped coordinate this year, all of the room parents who organized the games and beautiful auction basket donations, and the many parents who volunteered time to make yesterday a great success. Our tally doesn’t include 6th grade food sales or the 7th grade haunted house but based on their comments and the lines I assume they did great! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! –Julie Zeigler

As was voted on, MAPA agreed to fund mini grants for each teacher as well as field trips. To teachers who follow this blog, I encourage you to submit your proposals. To date, the MAPA Board has not received any. You may submit your proposals to mapa@mariamontessoriacademy.org. The MAPA Board will review them and a member of the board will be in touch with you.

Thank you all again MMA families, students who spent their allowance money, and staff for supporting MAPA. The money we raise goes right to MMA!
