Today, I hope you\u2019ll join me and other alumni and Parents of Alumni from our generous community to ensure MPA students and teachers today have the resources they need. Your gift will support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scholarships and Financial Assistance: Did you know MPA provides over $2 million each year to families who dream of an MPA education, but can\u2019t afford the price tag? Your gift can make sure every promising student can benefit from a top-notch education, regardless of their ability to pay.<\/li>\n<li>Programmatic Enhancements: An MPA education is the magic that happens inside the classroom, and in the clubs, sports, teams, and enrichment activities before, during, and after the school day. Make sure that students don\u2019t miss out on what makes MPA truly great: the arts, athletics, music, student groups, and enhanced learning through innovative classroom experiences and the AnnMarie Thomas Makerspace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Every gift of every size makes an impact.
