Ben and Ian are collecting donations of books, sports equipment, school supplies, and games from the MPA community to give low-income schools and other organizations that benefit local children in need. Cell phones can also be donated, as a resource for STEM education in underprivileged classrooms. Their drive ends January 18, so there is still time left to donate items to help Ben and Ian make a difference! Please bring the items to the Upper School office.
