Through our community&#8217;s generous support, we will significantly enhance the spaces where our students play and rejuvenate, PreK-12. Our goal is to raise $75,000.<\/p>\n<p>With new equipment on the playground specifically designed for students PreK-8, and more comfortable and extensive seating for Upper School students in the Benz Courtyard, our students will benefit from these improved spaces each and every day. Rooted in the knowledge that young people thrive cognitively, socially, emotionally, and physically when they have plenty of time and space to move and play, this Fund A Need will enhance MPA&#8217;s ability to deliver on its mission and nurture the whole child.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In addition to extensive physical education classes, Mounds Park Academy is proud to offer Lower School students 55 minutes for lunch and recess, Middle School students 50 minutes for lunch and recess, and Upper School students 55 minutes for lunch and community building. It is during these times that our students will benefit from these improved spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Please consider helping us fund this very important initiative! Make a gift at the Spring Auction or online.
