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!<\/p>\n<p>The Upper School Student Council also designed t-shirts for all our 9th\u00a0through 12th\u00a0graders! 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019ll be featuring the Panther Beanbag Toss, the game Kubb, and Frisbee Golf. And don\u2019t forget to cool off with a Jonny Pop after you\u2019re done playing and cheering!
