MCAA Rocket Report

Greetings MCAA Families,

We’re wrapping up an exciting couple weeks at MCAA after a fantastic Evening of the Arts and Science Fair! It was incredible to see our students’ creativity and innovation on full display—thank you to everyone who attended and supported these events. This week, our PTA kicked off its Spring Fundraiser, a vital effort that helps fund community events and school initiatives throughout the year. If we reach our goal of $15,000, we’ll celebrate with our annual Spring Social next Friday—a fun tradition our students look forward to! As we close out the month, we’re excited to introduce our inaugural Tea on Herstory, a special event honoring the remarkable contributions of women throughout history. We can’t wait to celebrate and learn together! Thank you for your ongoing support in making MCAA a wondebrful place to learn and grow.
