There is only one more week until Homecoming, and the joy begins at the starting line of the Homecoming Fun Run on Saturday, September 29! The MPA Cross Country team is hosting a 200M run at 8:30 AM. It’s the perfect opportunity for our younger students to participate in the festivities and run with the Panthers! Immediately following the 200M Fun Run, we are hosting a 2-mile race that is open to the entire community. All run participants will receive a limited edition aluminum MPA water bottle, energizing snacks, and plenty of water!
The Upper School Student Council also designed t-shirts for all our 9th through 12th graders! The Lower and Middle Schoolers will get specially designed t-shirts next week in their classrooms/Advisories. We hope our entire student body will wear their t-shirts in celebration next Friday for our Homecoming Pep Rally! Everyone is invited so please join us at 2:20 PM on Friday, September 28 in the Lansing Center.
Rain or shine, we will celebrate our community with a full day of events. Come to campus to catch up with friends, cheer on our Panther athletes, race against other Panthers in our Fun Runs, jump in a bouncy house, get your picture taken, or play lawn games. This year we’ll be featuring the Panther Beanbag Toss, the game Kubb, and Frisbee Golf. And don’t forget to cool off with a Jonny Pop after you’re done playing and cheering! We hope to see you all there! Click here for the full schedule of events. We still have opportunities available to volunteer at Homecoming 2018, too! You can be a part of making this event special by volunteering your time during the day. Email Ilse Larsen at ilarsen@moundsparkacademy.org with any questions and sign up to volunteer here!
