Those beautifully one-of-a-kind CHAMP shirts you saw last week? Students made them by hand! No two shirts are exactly alike, a reflection of the personality and creative choices of the student who made it.

Thank you to Lower School art teacher Ms. van der Paardt, who collaborated with each grade to create their shirts.

spend time with other parents, and experience firsthand the creative, innovative learning that happens at MPA every day.

Visit mpa.link/bringafriend for more details and to register by October 16.
