\"POAThe MPA Parents of Alumni (POA) organization has been active since 2011. A group of parents wanted to stay connected to the friends they had made through the years their children were at MPA. Eight years later, the POA has a few annual traditions established with opportunities to add more events throughout each school year. The events are varied and invitations are issued through the MPA Development Office. The POA follows a flexible strategy that focuses our social events between May and November when parents of alumni are likely more available.\u00a0The MPA POA Executive Board consists of Mary Jo Thrane, Jeanne Danaher, Chris Levesque, Amanda Campbell, Carey Ide, and Karla Myers. Each are members of the POA with alum from the graduating classes 2009\u20132018.<\/p>\n

Recent Social Even<\/strong>t
\nA few months ago, over 65 POA\u00a0members gathered at the home of\u00a0Peter and Mary Jo Thrane. The POA\u00a0Summer Social and Annual Meeting\u00a0is, “one of our favorite POA events,”\u00a0said Mary Jo Thrane, current POA\u00a0President. “Parents attended whose\u00a0kids had graduated a decade ago,\u00a0along with those whose students\u00a0were in the class of 2019.” Events like the Summer Social are a wonderful time to connect with the incredible MPA community of parents.<\/p>\n
